The Klan was expanding out of the South in the 1920s, and expanding their hate list to Jews, Catholics, and immigrants, even staging a huge parade in full regalia in Washington, DC, and controlling Presidential and Congressional politics. It was in 1924 that Ellis Island and mass immigration were shut down and quotas were imposed, partly due to Klan influence. One possible reason for this was the social conservative backlash against “decadent” Europe from Doughboys’ reports of their service in the Great War (a popular song of the era began “How ya gonna keep ‘em down on the farm, after they’ve seen Paree?”), also a contributing factor to Prohibition. The Marx Brothers, being Jewish, were naturally targets of Klan hate, despite their popularity as entertainers. Chico’s Italian accent (and his and Zeppo’s stage names) were fake, of course (Groucho’s real name was Julius).

The fact that this is fully realized sound (not with microphones hidden in the furniture) definitely indicates this had to be recorded late 1929 but more likely mid 1930. I could be mistaken but I don't think so. They always did complete chaos, insanity and overlapping dialogue, so I get no clues from that.
