The gown Gracie is wearing is the one Jeanette MacDonald wore in the movie "San Francisco". Jeanette wore this gown as she sang the title song in a competition representing Blackie Norton's 'Paradise Club' just before the earthquake scene. Tiny Gracie has to hold the gown up to be able to walk in it. Cute!
This is a terrific video. Did anyone notice the parody by of the Spanish song 'La Violetera' in the middle (using 'violins' rather than 'violets'). One would think that it is a parody of Sarita Montiel's performance (where she throws violets to the audience) of the song in the movie of the same name. But that movie is much later, dating, I think, from 1958.
Gracie so wonderful and amazing!!!!
When Harpo’s singing and there are two grouchos not chasing each other in their nightgowns, you know that you’re not watching the Marx Bros.
Gracie is Perfect!

The singing quartet imitating the Marx Brothers is The King's Men led by Ken Darby.

Who's the W. C. Fields lookalike? I couldn't find him credited in the cast list of the IMDb page for this movie.
None of them is George Burns! This is the singing group The King´s Men.
Because it's not the Marx Brothers, but characters from this film doing an impersonation of them. One of the Grouchos is probably George Burns.
There is another musical joke...the short musical figure the cello playing Groucho plays is called the "Oh You Horse's Ass"
It's a-- I say, "It's a Joke, son!" (Nice boy but doesn't lissen to a woid ya say.)
Wow. I guess the 2nd Groucho is supposed to be... ummm... Zeppo disgusied as Groucho?
No, he’s supposed to be Harpo.
The one at the harp is supposed to be Zeppo.
Frank Zappa in the 30's
