The action shows how the models regenerationwas brought about by the responsibilities of guardianship. Although this release is not an adaptation, its story is inharmony with the well-known policy of the Thanhouser Com-pany to present classics and high-class films. The simplicity of this touching tale emphasizes its forceful-ness. There are no confusing complications—no counter-plots and no by-plots. Smoothly and naturally we are toldthat an artist who is working on a picture called The Satyrand the Lady is dissatisfied with the lay figure, Satyr, andthat is satisfied with his lady model, In order to get a. SCENE FROM THE SATYR AND THE LADY suitable model, the artist scours the congested market-placesof the Ghetto. There he finds in the person of a bewhis-kered shoelace peddler the very man he wants. A bargainis made and the peddler is astonished to learn that sittingstill is a much more remunerative occupation than hustlingaround with shoestrings. The beautiful lady with whom the Satyr poses is very kindto him, and soon she becomes in his eyes the embodiment ofall that is good and virtuous. But in reality the model is ofthe ordinary sort—the kind we read about in the newspapers. Long after the picture is finished, the Satyr is on hisdeath-bed. He is troubled by thoughts of the uncertaintyof_ the welfare of his child after he is gone. Finally hismind reverts to his good and noble idol. She, he decides, isthe only fitting guardian. He sends for her and although she is in the midst of ahilarious and Bohemian bunch of friends in her apartments,she goes to him.
