Who said ';Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution';?

I've seen various versions of that joke attributed to Groucho Marx, W.C. Fields, and Mae West. It seems to have been a recurrent vaudeville joke. It appeared in the 1921 cartoon ';Pop';, an in one of Mae West's movies. But is it in any of the Marx Brothers' movies? Maybe in one of Groucho's books? Who came up with the joke?Who said ';Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution';?
I thought that it was......but who wants to be committed to an institutionWho said ';Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution';?
Ive always heard it attributed to Mae
Groucho Marx also said





';I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.';
It is a quote most often attributed to Groucho, but he must have said off camera, in casual conversation, as it can't be sourced.
