''The House That Shadows Built'' (1931) is a short Pre-Code feature film from Paramount Pictures, made to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the studio's founding in 1912. The film was a promotional film for exhibitors and never had a regular theatrical release. The film includes a brief history of Paramount, interviews with various actors, and clips from upcoming projects (some of which never came to fruition). The title comes from a biography of Paramount founder Adolph Zukor, ''The House That Shadows Built'' (1928), by William Henry Irwin. ==Marx Brothers segment== The film is known for a six-minute segment starring the Marx Brothers—with Davison Clark playing Mr. Lee, Theatrical Producer—intended to promote their forthcoming film ''Monkey Business'' (Clark later played the role of the frustrated Passport Official in ''Monkey Business''). The segment, containing material which was never included in any other Marx Brothers film, is a re-working of the first scene of their first successful Broadway revue ''I'll Say She Is'' (1924) — which Groucho considered to have been the funniest work in the Brothers' career. Except for a few name changes and additional gags, the scene is almost completely the same as the script used for the stage production. Some of the gags from ''I'll Say She Is'' were worked into the lobby scene in ''The Cocoanuts'' (1929), and a bit involving a series of Maurice Chevalier imitations was incorporated into the script of ''Monkey Business'' (1931). The Marx Brothers' segment is currently available as a special feature on the direct-to-DVD documentary film ''Inside the Marx Brothers'', albeit in poor condition. Recently, Marx Brothers fans have begun referring to their segment simply as ''I'll Say She Is'', in light of its source material.
