The Model's Redemption (1910) Online

A picture that holds the audience closely to the end. Perhaps it is the change in the beautiful model; perhaps it is in the sharp contrast between the gay Bohemian life of the rich and successful artist and the hopelessness of the one who had genius, but was beset with misfortune. Whatever it may be, the attraction is there, and the emotions are deeply moved as the beautiful model, fulfilling her promise to pose for the poor artist, comes to understand the spirituality of his nature and her own responds to it. But it is too late. Starvation has done its work. He dies just as he finishes a picture which is a masterpiece. Acted with sympathy which seizes upon the dramatic possibilities of the subject, and photographed with skill, this picture appeals strongly to the emotions of the audience and the sympathy for him is outspoken. After his death the same sympathy is extended to the model, who, realizing the worthlessness of the life she has been living, renounces it and enters a convent. The Imp Company has produced a picture which cannot fail to interest. - The Moving Picture World, November 26, 1910
