Wikipedia says, "By the 1920s, the Marx Brothers had become one of America's favorite theatrical acts, with their sharp and bizarre sense of humor." That didn't necessarily extend to London, however, as the above clipping from Variety of July 1922 will attest. Maybe it was an off night, or perhaps something was lost in translation.
But by a couple of weeks later, they had ditched "On The Balcony" for a tried and true script, and were back on top again.
