U. D. 1957. A MODERN GALATEA. $39.12.
Approximate Length, 326 feet.
Humorous deception in a studio.
This excellently photographed subject is peculiarly appropriate during the present rage, at the variety theatres, for living pictures of statuary and other works of art.

Comic situations are introduced as the poseur constantly varies her attitude in reproduction of sketches submitted to the artist by his mystified lady patroness, and her mystification is complete when the enthusiast walks from the scene with the impersonator clinging to his arm.

The young man accepts the proffered article and is about to walk away when he is recalled and requested to pay. He promptly responds that he did not wish to buy, and throws the article back at the vendor. Aggravated, the
