Rodney Reid Welch.

@Motorakid, they sure were selling worthless land like mad. My g’parents came here in Jan, 1926. In September, came The Storm. The bubble was busted. The Cocoanuts is amazing for the number of really dirty inference: Groucho, making non-stop triple entendres! It appears to be about, in a way, Coconut Grove (steal of the name, mention of our limestone ridge, so famous…thanks guy, r.

Johnny Carson, who idolized Groucho, used variations this line several times in Tonight Show monologues. One of his favorite was “If the real-estate salesman says “stucco”, be sure he’s talking about the house—-and not you.”

The play that the …
The play that the movie is really a transcription of, is from 1925. The Florida land boom was in full, insane tilt. A fifty foot frontage in Coral Gables could go for fifty thousand bucks. The Hurricane of Sept. 1926 finished off the Boom. Our (in Miami) depression started then, locally, in 1927. And it got worse, of course, in 1930. There were no land sales. Only foreclosures and ruination.
