There's a Small Hotel
"There's a Small Hotel" is a 1936 song composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Lorenz Hart.
Originally written for but dropped from the musical "Billy Rose's Jumbo" (1935), it was used in "On Your Toes" (1936), where it was introduced by Ray Bolger and Doris Carson.
Betty Garrett sang it in the 1948 film "Words and Music", and it was interpolated in the film version of "Pal Joey" (1957) with a [Frank Sinatra]]-Nelson Riddle collaboration.
According to the biography of Lorenz Hart by Frederick Nolan ("Lorenz Hart - A Poet on Broadway", 1994; Oxford University Press), the song was inspired by a visit that Richard Rodgers made to the Stockton Inn, in Stockton, New Jersey.
Hart reputedly found the melody insistently cloying and often ad-libbed raunchy parody verses, much to Rodgers' chagrin.
Another claimant to be the inspiration for the song
is the Belmond El Encanto in Santa Barbara County, California.
Renovations to the hotel in the 1950s replaced the wishing well, mentioned in the song, by a floral fountain.
Richard Rodgers
Richard Charles Rodgers (June 28, 1902 – December 30, 1979) was an American composer, known largely for his work in musical theater.
With 43 Broadway musicals and over 900 songs to his credit, Rodgers was one of the most significant American composers of the 20th century, and his compositions had a significant impact on popular music.
He is best known for his songwriting partnerships with the lyricists Lorenz Hart, with whom he wrote several musicals throughout the 1920s and 1930s, including "Pal JoeyA Connecticut YankeeOn
Your Toes" and "Babes in Arms," and Oscar Hammerstein II, with whom he wrote musicals through the 1940s and 1950s such as "Oklahoma!CarouselSouth PacificThe King and I", and "The Sound of Music".
His collaborations with Hammerstein, in particular, are celebrated for bringing the Broadway musical to a new maturity by telling stories that were focused around characters and drama rather than the light-hearted entertainment that the genre was known for beforehand.
Rodgers was the first person to win what are considered the top American entertainment awards in television, recording, movies and Broadway – an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony Award — now known collectively as an EGOT.
In addition, he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize, making him one of only two people to receive all five awards
