THE OBSER YER Makes Random Observations
 On the City ano Its People

down to complete the loop, the pas senger decides that he guesses he'll save money on clothes and have his widow pick out a nice black suit with roll front lapels.
 The sideslip is something similar to finding ones heel on a small patch of ice hidden beneath fluffy snow. You know the sensation. The ground comes up and deals you a fast one back of the ear. The side slip is very like that except that the ground takes longer to come up.
 '"The spiral dive is the embodi- ment of being very drunk while on roller coaster. Sometimes the pa tient recovers but is very apt to be violently afraid of thunder showers for the rest of his life.
 "Ah, but the nose dive-there's a thrill for you. One is going along nicely and suddenly the front of the plane points toward the ground. The passenger shuts his eyes for a sec ond and as he opens them again he ascertains that the ground is much nearer. Slowly at first, and then faster as the plan picks up mo- mcntum in the fall, he is able to pick out familiar objects. such as O'Malley's Undertaking Esta blish- ment, the Morgue, the Oaklawn cemetery and a very firm and de termined looking patch of ground Immediately under the nose of the plane. But his feelings soar again as the motor picks up and zooms up into the air. If the motor fails to pick up and the plane fails to zoom. the passenger can feel assured that the pilot of the plane does not know the subject thoroughly and had no business trying that stunt in the first place.

Pan, have an interesting surprise in
store for them in Paramount's new
comedy "Ritzy," which comes to
the Ohio theater tomorrow.
''Ritzy" presents a new Betty
Bronson as we'll as a new Elinor
Glyn, both of them delightful per-
sonages. AS a successor to Madame
Glyn's TT in which Clara Bow
leaped to universally acclaimed
stardom "Ritzy" definitely establish
es Madam Glyn's right to her claim
as a writer of comedy. The story,
however, does not in any way de-
tract from her recognition as the
mistress of feminine psychology.
While possessing that definite
thread of romantic drama so con
spicuous in all the Glyn writings,
''Ritzy" is essentially comedy. There
are scenes taken aboard an ocean
liner which are said to be perfect
screams. Ritzy "ritzes" everybody
in sight excepting her father; him
she artfully twists about her finger
as she wheedles every wish.
She "ritzes" a real duke in her in
fatuation for title and showers
lavish attention upon an inlposter
She attempts to ritz" London at the
Ritz hotel and is herself so com
pletely 'ritzed" that she comes to
the realization that her scheme of
things must be wrong. Then, no
longer craving a title and perfectly
happy and contented to marry plain
Harrington Smith, she finds a title
wished upon her whethT she wants
it or not.
