An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) A Night at the Ritz, the 1935 William C. McGann hotel musical screwball comedy (about the head of a fancy hotel who tastes what he thinks is his employee's cooking, but it is actually the employee's mother's cooking, and he passes him off as a famous foreign chef!) starring William Gargan, Patricia Ellis, Allen Jenkins, Dorothy Tree, Erik Rhodes, William 'Wild Bill' Elliot (in an uncredited role), and Fred 'Snowflake' Toones (in an uncredited role). Note that Erik Rhodes was a Broadway stage actor who had a great minor part as a heavily accented European in the stage version of "The Gay Divorcee", and he was brought to Hollywood to recreate that role in the movie version. Over the next five years, he made a couple dozen moviefilma similar part, which was kind of funny, since he was actually from Oklahoma, but he was an expert in "foreign" accents. He served in World War II, and then returned to the Broadway stage, and never made any more movies. His part in this movie, as the fake foreign chef, was probably his best movie role. This movie is almost completely forgotten today, except by major film buffs, probably because it had none of Warner Bros. top "name" actors in the cast.
