"Thc Top of New York" at

Strand Strain Imagination
By IInrriettc Underhill

"Tho Top Of New York has ono
virtue-it will teach you charity
For. after setting through II. you are
bound TO judge other pictures. which
perhaps you have condemned IN the
past. more leniontly. II is not prob
able that they could havo been such
poor stuff as this one Is made Of. The
whole thing is as obviously false and
unbceoming as the blonde wig which
the beautiful and sincere young actress,
May McAvoy. is forced 20 wear in her
Characterization OF fIilda O'Shaun-
messy. IL seems n terrible waste Of
money. tho making OF such a picture
AZ this. and II certainly is a waste Of
talents to put Miss McAvoy in such n
part. Along toward the end we decided
not to get worked up over tit wasn't
our money; and II you can just take It
as a joke It won't be 10 bad.
Hilda O'Shaunnessy works In the
toy department Of The bon Ton de-
partment store. The proprietor Is a
villain, and on Christmas eve he calls
Hilda In his Office and tells her she
may have anything she chooses for a
present. She picks out $500 squirrel
Goa, and Immediately nawns y FOR
$500. The most important thing In tho
story the author has left oul--ihe ad.
dress of that pawnbroker who viii ad-
vance $500 on $500 department store
fur coat. But Hilda only wanted thc
money % send her little brother 20 Tho
hospital for an operation and. 90 get
the coat. she had 20 promise 20 90 out
10 dinner with the wicked young pro-
prietor
So she climbs 70 the roof Of the tene-
ment where she lives and is about 20
hurl herself % the sidewalk rather
than 20 TO the dinner without n cnap-
erone And then guess who sees her
the hero. Just as she was topping
over the top Emery Grey-for 10 was
indeed hc--caught her in his arms. and
thcn /, al came out that the Bon Ton
proprietor was tee very man who years
before had lurci thc Ecro's wife away.
But she had died in tho mean time. so
that the hero could marry Hilda right
here in New York.
The hero vas an artist; an odd. low
able sort Of chap, who erected a snug
bungalow on tho root OF tenement
house just for atmosphere. That Ger
tAinly is an idea. and that's the way
he got acquainted with the heroine.
On Christmas Day she took her lame
brother up on tac roof and did an
asthe,ic dance In the snow. and the
artist thought she was cute and said
that sac had restored his !a!ta IN
women.
Walter McGrail is the hero artist
and little Pat Moore plays tho lame
brother. I, is n shame 70 make up a
ehild's face like that Instead Of sug-
gesting wistiul and patient l.ttle boy
he looks like an old man 81 seventy or

If the Public Advertised

IHE ADVERTISER tells his
story to the public, but the
public cannot respond in print
TO the advertiser.
The public has no fund, no
appropriation by which it can
become vocal and present its
needs to the advertiser.
If the public did advertise,
you would see a queer reversal
Of the statements that adver-
tisers so frequently use.
1--WE wish you could visit
our factory and see our prod
uct being made" cries the ad-
vertiser. And the inarticulate
public cannot cry back, 1--WE
wishyou would visit our homes
and see why some Of us buy
your product and why some
Of us cannot and will not. "
Being thoroughly familiar
with product is not so ncces-
sary for an advertising man as
being thoroughly familiar with
the people who buy or are ex-
pected to buy the product.
