| Summary |
"At Hotel On-de-Blink: An entertainment in two parts" by George P. Seiler is a comedic play published during the early 20th century. The work features an assortment of engaging characters and humorous situations revolving around the daily operations of a quirky hotel. The play likely utilizes slapstick humor and witty dialogue in its exploration of character interactions and comedic misunderstandings inherent in hotel life. The plot unfolds in the lobby of the eponymous hotel, where various eccentric characters, including the bewildered proprietor Hans Seitz and his daughter Gretch, engage in a series of humorous dialogues and situations with colorful patrons such as the "lost dago" Antonio and the "knight of the road," Samp L. Case. As guests check in and misunderstandings arise, various comedic antics ensue, including misplaced identities and a disguised nobleman visiting incognito. The dialogue is peppered with puns and character-driven humor, encapsulating the spirit of early 20th-century farcical entertainment, with songs interspersed throughout the acts to enhance the light-hearted atmosphere.
