Keystone Hotel (film)

Keystone Hotel is a 1935 two-reel comedy short subject, directed by Ralph Staub and released by the Vitaphone Corporation through Warner Bros. Pictures.

Cross-eyed Count Drewa Blanc arrives at the busy Keystone Hotel to judge a fashion show.

Upstairs, the house detective investigates some marital shenanigans, some involving a vibrating exercise machine.

In an interview with Leonard Maltin, director Ralph Staub recalled: The studio went ahead with silent-comedy revivals anyway, consulting its backlog of Mack Sennett silent comedies and compiling them as new two-reel subjects with wisecracking narration.

This series of six shorts ran from 1939 to 1945, beginning with a two-reel condensation of the Ben Turpin feature A Small Town Idol.
