So there they were, The Marx Brothers on film for the very first time.

This one reel short was only screened once in New York. It was not a success so Groucho Marx burnt the negative and it is presumed lost. Harpo went on to be a silent film star with "Too Many Kisses" (1925) while the others still along with Harpo went to broadway in 1924. Sources also varies that Harold Lloyd's leading lady Mildred Davis had appeared as a Heroine. Harpo played a character called Watson and Groucho played the Villain. Chico and Zeppo also appeared in the film.
