The picture offers plenty of chance for the demonstration of her theory, for she appears we! revealed by charming neglige-, an,] "'oil concealed by fashionable and fluffy gowns when she 1? d > • ing her best to attract the at tention of her chauffeur, hand some young Mulhall! “In the scantiest of costumes at times in this picture, my scree.': presence of real presence convey: only the general significance ' the scene,” Miss Mackaill points out. “On the other hand, in cos tumes much less revealing in scenes in which 1 wish to tca--c the chauffeur-hero, the famous *ii' that is woman’s best weapon ar ! choicest possession is emanating waves or whatever it broadcasts!" “Children of the Ritz” which brings together the upper and lower classes of New York f”t society with only love between the crusts for filling, is a rollick ing, highly entertaining and hu man picture.
