@@melenatorr I think Groucho did that on purpose. She was one of those classically trained actors who was very good at not breaking character, so I reckon Groucho thought it would be even funnier if audiences didn't think she was in on the joke.

I don't understand anything about this bridge game but I like Chico's smile and laugh. The big lady is lovely and the young beautiful lady looks very stylish with her hairdo and dress. It looks like Chico and Harpo are cheating the two ladies with the bridge game. Poor young lady loses her shoes to Harpo and doesn't try to take them back. Chico is very cute with his smile and laugh. It's sad that they all passed away long time ago. What a nostalgia!

Lol, I love the Hat Gag and the Mirror scene from "Duck Soup", but this movie has some great moments. "Abie the Fishman", "Elephant in my Pyjamas", "the Flash"and this scene. The physical comedy of Harpo closing the table legs as Hives tries to open them. "How you want to play? Honest?" XD Harpo laying out the blackjack, smacking his own hand when Dumont tells him to put it away, offering it to the girl to comfort, only to draw it back as if he's about to slap her, XD. "You have the choice of seats!" (Sits on her) "Good heavens, not on her lap!" "What's the matter with him?" "I don't know..." "He thought it was contact bridge!" "You gotta scrumble them up a little bit!" (A line I use when I tell people to shuffle cards nowadays). Love how serious/angry he looks as he does it. "Bid one? One what?" "That's alright, you find out..." "The dummy leads....the DUMMY leads." (Points at Dumont) "I'm NOT the Dummy!" "Well, you could be..."

It was because he got a horrible review for his part in a vaudeville act one time. The critic said, "The marx brother that did pantomime made a memorable allusion, however it was dashed to the rocks when he opened his mouth to speak." So he decided never to speak in his act again. This was info directly from his son on David Letterman in 1985(which can be seen on YT).

Margaret DuMont was playing a grand Dame way older. When she was called back to work in the 1950’s to work for Groucho and the Hollywood Theatre in the Dr. Livingston Act (on KZitem) she was in her 80’s and really the age she was portraying in the 1930’s movies. She also was playing a fictitious roll based of Mrs. Edward Stotesbury as Mrs. Dukesbury. The Doris Duke name and the Stotesbury name combined because Jimmy Cromwell (son of Eva S. had just married Doris Duke. These were the Kardashian’s of the early 20th century.
