Synopsis
Excerpt from Out on Long Island
Somewhere in the romances of art there is the story of a famous artist who desired to paint the face of the child Christ. He crossed the continent and searched through Palestine, peered into the faces of the children of Jerusalem, and among the homes of Nazareth. But, finding nowhere the ideal of his dreams, he returned baffled to his home and took up again his daily work. And one day, in the very street of his own home, he saw the face of his visions, painted it upon his canvas, and madehis fame immortal.
