Xylophone Orchestrion Music in Marx Brothers Film
By Eric Stott

I just watched the "Horse Feathers" scene on YouTube.  It is most
definitely the Paramount Studio Orchestra playing, not an orchestrion.
The duo of pianists are probably Ralph Rainger and Edgar Fairchild,
both of whom had Paramount contracts.
