When The Stevens Hotel opened in 1927, it was considered the World’s largest hotel. Described as a city within a city, it sported a large movie theatre, a ballroom, a 27 chair barber shop, a bowling alley, a pharmacy, a candy store and many other amenities. Despite being a big attraction, it struggled to turn a profit, the depression magnifying its woes. The insurance company magnates the Stevens family tried some unethical practices to keep it afloat, but the city seized the hotel shortly after these sessions, selling it to the US Army. During WW2, it served as housing for military recruits. Conrad Hilton purchased the property in 1945, refurbished it, and it still stands in Chicago as one of that city’s fine historic hotels, still under the Hilton banner

I’ve always had a curious relationship with this group. I’ve never been able to jump on board completely, but there is some attractive element in this country novelty group. They occasionally show that they could actually play jazz, and their early sides have a disparate quality of part hot and part corn. They are entertaining certainly, but the slide whistle and slap tongue clarinet keeps them from being taken at all seriously. Hezzie’s washboard is a contraption to marvel, with its accumulated add-ons of bulb horns, tiny cymbals and other noise makers. (it now resides in an Indiana museum). Their early sides are certainly the most engaging musically, this one no exception. This could be accurately described as “hot corn”
Okay Hezzie?
