DS, three pages of a four page document, 8.5 x 11, April 6, 1962. Agreement between Groucho, Harpo, Zeppo, and Gummo and Paramount Pictures concerning the release of the estate of Chico Marx from a 1930 contract involving the Marx Brothers and re-releases of Monkey Business and Horse Feathers and a cash payout of a total of $38,500.00 divided between the brothers, Chico’s two wives, and a law firm. Signed on the third and fourth page, “Julius H. (Groucho) Marx,” “Arthur Harpo Marx,” Herbert Zeppo Marx,” “Mary DiVitha Marx,” “Betty Marx,” and “Gummo Marx.” Horse Feathers, in which the brothers satirized the American College system and Prohibition, was one of their most popular films, and won them the cover of Time magazine. It included a running gag from their films where Harpo revealed having nearly everything in his coat. Some mild toning and some light fading of typed text, second page missing, and expected punch and staple holes, otherwise fine condition. PSA/DNA Auction LOA and R&R COA.
