ay Mc^oy '*The Top of ew York" HERE'S beautiful May McAvoy in a real picture. A great heart-interest drama of the rooftops of New York. A drama that has its answer in the hearts of all of us. This picture possesses every attrii~iute that makes a successful picture, being particularly strong in sentiment and wholesomeness, and for this reason it will receive a great deal of word-of-mouth advertising. May McAvoy plays the role of a little dancer who supports a worthless uncle and an invalid brother, and who struggles unaided to happiness and love. She Joes far finer work in this than in "Sentimental Tommy" and in her star pictures. The little brother is played wonderfully by Mickey Moore. It was directed by the late William D. Taylor, who made "The Green Temptation," "Huckleberry Finn" and numerous other box-office successes. Sonya Levien, the author, wrote it especially for Miss McAvoy. The star appears as a doll manikin in some scenes and wears numerous delightful dance gowns. Beautiful settings and photography combine to please the eye. The cast includes Mary Jane Irving, who was seen in "The Cradle," and declared by many to be the best child actress on the screen. 1 \ -'.-^ ,n c -'-^ 1 U^yiMHi
