This pair of "I Love Lucy" episodes comes from the period when Ricky was in Hollywood attempting to make a movie. "Harpo Marx" (Episode #125, May 9, 1955) showcases Lucille Ball's physical comedy in a great scene with the beloved silent Marx Brother. Caroline Appleby (Doris Singleton) is supposedly on her way to Hawaii but postpones her trip to attend a party at the Ricardo's hotel suite where famous movie stars are supposed to arrive. Lucy plays to fool Caroline by stealing her glasses and having people wear masks of famous stars. But then Ricky and Fred show up with Harpo. The mirror sequence between the two was apparently a pain to shoot (and reshoot), but worth the effort just to see the two famous "redheads" go at it. "Lucy and John Wayne" (#129, October 10, 1955), is the second in a two-part episode. Previously Lucy had stolen the Duke's cement footprints from in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater. Of course, when Ricky demanded she return them, Lucy accidentally drops them and they shatter. Now Ricky has to try and save his film career by asking Wayne to make new footprints. The Duke graciously agrees, although he has to do it over and over again as each new set of footprints somehow manages (Lucy) to get ruined. Wayne would later do another memorable guest shot on "The Lucy Show" eleven years later. Two first rate "I Love Lucy" episodes on a single tape.
