A UNIVERSAL PICTURE
te>PY«*«GMTCC‘ 1934 V*lit4tS4t.. >-*
Light airy treatment characterizes the line of paper on “Let's Be Ritzy.” With such a well known cast, every effort has been made to preserve the likenesses of Lew Ayres, Patricia Ellis, Isabel Jewell and Frank McHugh, while carrying out the spritely idea of the jazzy title. The other three-sheet is a huge hat with Lew Ayres and Patricia Ellis sitting in it. Morgan has provided the usual quota of twenty-four sheets , a six, two threes, and two ones.
