BY JAMES IV. DEAN. NEW YORK, July I.—" The Top of New York” Is one of those hardseat movies. You know! The longer you watch It the harder the theater seat becomes, and the harder the seat becomes, the longer the picture seems. They’re making lots of that kind for the summer months. The story was almost hopeless and the best the late William D. Taylor could make of it was a Kosher Irish Stew, flavored with the piquancy of May McAvoy. May is a shop girl, and the night before Christmas she accepts a squirrel coat from her employer so she can sell it to obtain funds for an operation for her sick little brother. When the employer comes to keep an appointment he has made with May, she is saved from jumping off the roof by her next door neighbor, who lives in a bungalow on the roof of an East Side tenement. Her rescuer beats up the villain, because he is the very self-same fellow ‘ who ran off with the rescuer’s wife years before. Maybe that isn't all of the story, but it's enough' of it. The long arm i old John Coincidence was overworked. He should have been relieved at the end of the first Inning after he had the bases filled. -i- -I- -1Miss McAvoy and Hughes. “Sentimental Tommy” was & great photoplay because of the direction of John S. Robertson and because of the fine acting of Gareth Hughes and May McAvoy. Great things were expected of those two young players after that film. But neither since has appeared in a worthwhile picture. They have not fitted! the characters assigned them to enact. Many of the current movies could be improved if producers did not seek to fit square pegs into round holes, thus wasting the ability of 6uch players as Hughes and Miss McAvoy. -1- -I- -IWigs Fewer screen actresses have lovelier tresses than May McAvoy.

Chamber’s novel, “Cardigan,” nas been made into a patriotic movie and will be presented next week at the Circle Theater under the auspicies of Indiana Post No. 4 of the American Legion. The Indiara Indorses of Photoplays indorse it. The movie carries a real lesson in Americanism as makers of this country appear as the leading figures In the story.

In the Land of Make Believe By WALTER D. HICKMAN.

Whether or not the ten rules of | conduct formulated to regulate the stars and players in the Paramount ! Stock Company becomes a "scrap of ! paper” or not in the months to come. It does show ore big thing that the movie player is making an effort to protect his profession. If the film stars mean business, the action of the movie stock players shows that the movie actor is simply yielding to public opinion. The movie fan is getting sick and tired of the exposures of skeletons in the closets of their screen favorites. I believe that anew day is coming mighty rapidly In film world. On the stage, the public has quickly dropped and has forgotten some virtueless sensations. David Warfield lives in the esteem of the public. Maude Adams is not forgotten. Mrs. Fiske, Robert B. Mantell, Elsie Janis and others are popular today because they have reached their present positions b& cause of honest and Sincere work and not upon sensationalism. All Suffer for Few. The real stage people have labored for years to protect their profession. The stage is not without its scandal but public opinion has or is driving out the undesirables both on the stage and the screen. So the movie actors on the Lasky lot have drawn up rules by which it is hoped to remove the possible of appearance of scandal and wrong doing. Rule seven virtually does away with the so-called “star system.” The public Is worn out with the practice of a “famous name” being placed in a movie cast. The story must be there and a cast suited to types must be selected. Neither the stage nor the screen can get away from those two vital obligations. The Paramount players have agreed to play any part assigned to them. Good Books Urged Another rule asks the players not to confine their outlook on life merely to the activities in the studio and as a cure for that it is recommended by the players themselves that they read good books and newspapers and keep abreast with the times. The public will probably be pleased with the rule which prohibits any member of the company from making personal appearances at a theater oi public entertainment without th® permission of th® director of the-stock
