@Numanoid1963 Interestingly this scene didn't exactly play well in a live stage setting when they were trying out the movie. but Irving Thalberg in his infinite wisdom understood that on the movie screen it would loook that much more cramped, and therefore that much funnier.

Yes, you are correct about taking the show on the road. I saw a Groucho retrospective where George Fenneman, Groucho's foil on "You Bet Your Life", told the story when he saw the brothers on stage when he was a teenager. They were doing scenes from "A Day at the Races" in an old movie house in San Francisco, where live acts would perform between films. Groucho was a master comedian and ad libber who would work and rework lines until they clicked.
