At that time, Chico, Harpo, Groucho and Zeppo had become one of America's favourite theatrical acts.
With their bizarre sense of humour, they satirised institutions such as high society and human hypocrisy.
They also became known for their improvised, free-form comedy.
At the height of their stage renown, they toured Britain and came to Blackpool.
But the brothers did not stay over in one of the resort's hotels. They opted for the more sedate setting of St Annes and booked into the hotel which is now occupied by the Admiral pub, on Clifton Drive.
Marx Brothers fan Ian Grooms, of All Saints Road, St Annes, said: "I have read a lot of books about them and there was a brief reference in one book to their stop-over at St Annes.
"Unfortunately, there is very little other material either referring to their stay, or relating to their actual performance in Blackpool.
"It would be fantastic if there was any local archive stuff still out there in the local community, including pictures."
