Mickey Mouse Plays Polo
Today, January 4, 1936, Mickey Mouse took to the Polo fields along with Donald Duck, Goofy, and the Big Bad Wolf. They were competing against Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy, Charlie Chaplin, and Harpo Marx. The short animated cartoon also had spectators, including Shirley Temple, Charles Laughton, W.C. Fields, Clark Gable, and Greta Garbo.
This cartoon was originally supposed to have Will Rogers, but was rescripted to include Harpo Marx after Will’s death in a plane crash in 1935.
