The Marx Brothers performed this piece many times for live audiences and only then did it go to film. That's why the film is so good. Link in comments.

Great! Makes me think of my geandfather who talked about seeing them in their theater shows before they did movies
Yes, although they went all over the country with their stage shows, he saw them in NYC. There was a great framed photo of him at a birthday party for Chico; I think my cousin got it. When I get my time machine working, I wanna spend a day in NYC in the 20s: Luna Park and Steeplechase Park in the afternoon and then a Marx Bros stage show at night!

Get out of town! Were they New York theaters? Tell us more please.

Thank you Grant.
Thanks so much for this. Is there any chance of any more of their movies here?
