Harpo's real name

[Cardinal 1]

A little trivia quiz -- and no fair looking on Wikipedia:

What was Harpo's original name, and what two changes did he make to it
(besides calling himself Harpo)?

His given name was Adolph, but changed it to Arthur. Oh by the way as
I was typing this here in Glendale, CA, We just experienced a 5.4
Earthquake. What a day.

Correct. He changed to something less German sounding as Germany was not a
popular country from 1914 - 1945. Incidentally when he went to Russia he
found his name was actually Xapno Mapkc

True, but a little bit of trivia not many know -- I only found out by
looking it up in a biographical book whose title I've forgotten -- is that
he later gave himself the middle name Duer.

Any connection with Alice Duer Miller?

I think that was just intended as a joke at sometime.

Incidentally how many people have seen the portrait called Vicious
Circle that is shown at the Algonquin Hotel in NY. Harpo is there
amongst all the other luminaries of the Algonquin Club.
