Not a silent movie, but they did this scene without any dialog. Still funny.

I wonder if this was the first time the two-people-no-mirror gag appeared in a movie.

    I love Marx brothers! But I never caught this one. Is this the scene that Lucille Ball did with Harpo later?

    I’ve only seen Room Service and the one on the train (horse feathers?)

      This one is great, kind of a mess structurally, but definitely worth it for the high brow, intelligent antics.

      Yep, right. Lucy and Harpo were riffing on this bit, which I’ve read the Marx Brothers used to do in their vaudeville routine as well.
