This is possibly an M-1917 tank which was a copy of the French FT-17 built by Renault.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/us_army_rolling_along] Possibly???? No No, 100% sure.

Rino Deltombe Under the gun is a lifting hook. The M1917 had it but the FT17 did not :-)

There are more differents you can see. Like the front corners of the hull.

The photo is taken in New York's Columbus Circle. That's the monumental statue of Columbus in its center in the background. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Circle

Interestingly, Cantor is standing on the top hatch and turret of an M1917 Light Tank, the American license-built version of the French Renault FT-17 Tank (the M1917 is distinguished from the FT-17 by the lifting hook on the hull, noted on the photo above). Presumably the tank was in Columbus Circle for a postwar display. Here's a photo of an M1917 Light Tank posted at the Boston Public Library's Flickr collection for comparison: www.flickr.com/photos/boston_public_library/8780208403/

It's possible this photo is of an event connected to the actors' strike of 1919, in which Cantor played a part. www.americantheatre.org/2013/03/01/when-actors-equity-sta...

This maybe a M1917, which is a copy of the French Renault FT made under licence from Renault in the USA.
