Four Marx Brothers, one tiny office, zero dignity — and it's only 4 minutes long.
In the office of Mr. Lee, a talent agent, Zeppo bursts through the door, proclaiming to be a great musical actor. He gives a terrible impression of Maurice Chevallier. Chico arrives, also proclaiming to be a great musical talent, and gives an even worse impression of the same musical act. This is followed by Groucho and finally Harpo, all adding to the growing confusion in the office.
Acting
Harpo's silent destruction; Groucho's eyebrows have their own billing.
Practical Effects
Real office, real props, real pandemonium — zero special effects needed.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was adapted from their 1924 Broadway revue 'I'll Say She Is' — the only filmed record of their breakthrough stage act.
Pre-Code Hollywood meant they could get away with Harpo's vaguely suggestive 'Merchant of Wieners' character name.
