A special drop shows an elevator, switchboard and other things that go with a regular hotel.
In "The Hotel St. Reckless" the pair happen upon a valuable piece of property. A quantity of very funny business is derived from the going up and down of the elevator, worked in an entirely new manner. Jones is the "straight" playing the blackface, the head bell hop, while Deeley is the comedian also in cork, a new boy whom Jones has just hired. The pair finish with a couple songs and the bully voices, blending nicely, hit up a big ending.
It affords about ten minutes of good, bright, snappy material, excellently handled. George Jones is a pleasant surprise as a "straight." Hereabouts he has never been seen doing this sort of work. Deeley is the same good comedian as of yore. He has a funny appearance and a walk that is quite amusing. His style is quite his own. Jones and Deeley have little trouble keeping busy with the present act.
