As a shabby and worried little de~ partment store girl, who appears as an animated doll in the toy section during the Christmas rush, but car- | ries a_heart heavy with home troubles, May McAvoy has the most appealing role of her career in “The Top of New 1 York"”, which was shown at the pal= e theater last night. The Keith vaudeville bill has four ‘gond acts with the Four Locust Sis- ters in an excellent harmony singing and piano act; Gardner and Aubrey in songs and music; Clarence Wilbug tramp comedian; and the . Massart Sisters in a fine dance novelty, Start- ing Thursday the big attraction will be “The Blind Bargain” with Lon Chaney featured. There will be con= tinuous shows the Fourth of July.
