Summary

Four previously released films, posed by artists and representing well-known works of art. Each film, comprised of two "living pictures" is shown as it would have appeared live in vaudeville theaters of the time. At the opening of each "picture", curtains are drawn aside by two pages. The models remain for a short interval in complete repose, and then the curtains are drawn closed.
