Groucho began to wear his trademark greasepaint mustache and to use a stooped walk. Some wore ski masks and others had their faces blackened with greasepaint. Instead of soot, actors would use greasepaint to help audience members decipher their emotions. To darken his complexion, he painted his face with greasepaint. Soon movie stars were eager to sample his "flexible greasepaint". So when did he finally get a chance to don the greasepaint? "You Bet Your Life" and no longer saw the greasepaint as dignified. At the finishing post, Corbiere pipped Greasepaint to victory by three-quarters-of-a-length.
