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. 1955 feet standard length — on 2 reels Rental $3.50
