- Summary:
- This comedy, written and directed by Charlie Chaplin during the period he worked at Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios, stars Cecile Arnold, Jess Dandy, and Chaplin. Chaplin plays a painter drinking in a bar because he has lost the woman he loves, a woman he often painted. Getting progressively drunker, he tries to draw her face on the floor. Many years later, he sees her again. The film is derived from a poem by the same name by Hugh Antoine D'Arcy; the poem is quoted in the film plot cards.
