A love story in a musical atmosphere.  A picturesque, old German virtuoso is the reverent possessor of a genuine “Cremona.”  He consents to take for his pupil a handsome youth who proves to have an aptitude for technique, but not the soul of an artist.  The youth, has led the happy, careless life of a modern, well-to-do young American and he cannot, with his meagre past, express the love, the passion and the tragedies of life and all its happy phases as can the master who has lived life in all its fulness.  But a girl comes into his life—­a beautiful bit of human driftwood that his aunt had taken into her heart and home, and through his passionate love for her, he learns the lessons that life has to give—­and his soul awakes.

Founded on a fact that all artists realize.
