Summary
Pathe synopsis: Lionel Burleigh paints for money. He’s a lightning operator working on over four hundred canvasses for, he says, positively his last appearance in paint. He even paints on the wall while he’s waiting for his models to settle down - and he has a family of nine to act as ready and willing sitters. See the finished product - his final one-man show - or is it?
