In what small American town did the Marx Brothers "become" the Marx Brothers . For bonus points , what was their act at the time , and what was the catalyst that caused them to change ? As always , peeking is cheating

Steel cut oats? Yep:

Place 14 oz boiling water from evening campfire into a 16 oz thermos bottle. Sprinkle in about 1-2 oz steel cut oats and 1/8 cup brown sugar (or other seasoning) to taste. Toss thermos into foot area of sleeping bag. Dream of squiggly highways. Wake up. Eat!

This sounds like it applies to a certain present political event or it's "characters". Opps, Politics is a no no.

"I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception."

Groucho: "Do you like gardinia's?"
Woman: " Why Yes I Adore Them. How did you know?"
Groucho: " I Didn't so I got you a forget-me-not instead."

Policeman: "A hermit eh? Then why's your table set for four?"

Groucho: "That's nothing. My alarm clock is set for eight."

GROUCHO:"You know, I'd buy you a parachute if I knew it wouldn't open."

So many good lines.

I did give up my gumbo recipe to a girl at work however, she said it was a success!

I would guess that their original act was musical in nature, but apart from that I have no idea...

A bit of paraphrasing:

I wouldn't belong to a "motorcycle club" that would have me as a member
