Cophetua and the Beggar Maid, which itself is founded on Tennyson's poem. A love story in which the artist helps to smooth the course of true love between the Earl of Winton and a daughter of his gardener by using them both as models in his painting, at the same time overcoming the objections of her brother who fears that there is so much difference in their social stations that the match cannot be a happy one. In the end all comes out smoothly and the lovers are happily united. Beautiful settings and unusual photographic effects add to the charm of this subject.

8005 Code SABAR The Young Painter Tri-Art
Featuring Mary Astor and Pierre Gendron
Inspired by the famous painting of the same title by Rembrandt. A touching, modern story of a young painter who finds inspiration in a copy of the original painting.
His ambition to succeed in his profession is fostered by his friendship for the beautiful girl who takes art lessons from him at his studio on Long Island.
She is the daughter of wealthy parents and is beloved by a very fine young man, who was the soldier companion of the young painter during the world-war.
Realizing his inability to provide for a wife in the style that his sweetheart has been accustomed to, the artist goes away to a city studio where he befriends an orphan newsboy, who becomes his companion.
Stricken with illness, the young painter gradually loses his strength until he is a mere shadow of his former self, when at last discovered by the other man, who realizes that the heroine's heart is given to the young painter. Alas, the illness has progressed too far and the painter passes away surrounded by those he loves and who love him. The final scene where his soul leaves its mortal tenement and follows the master, is one of great beauty and pathos. The entire production is beautifully directed and inspired by lofty sentiment and exquisite ideals. 782 feet — on 2 reels Rental $1.50

The martyrdom he suffers in this persecution is portrayed with a pathos that grips the spectator. All the wrongs are righted at the end. A very clever dog acts an interesting part and deserves special mention.
