Leipää pikkulinnuille

We first see Lucien Callamand at a bistro, loading his pockets with bread. The other patrons, even the servers, are glad to give their leavings to the old man. He sits in the park and breaks up the brrad to feed to the little birds. Stacia Napierokowska enters the scene hesitantly and steals some of the bread and tries to run away, but Callamand offers some to the poor creature and takes her home, where she falls asleep while he works on his music. Later, when he is helping one of his students practice her dancing, Napierkowska enters hesitantly and dances herself. Musician and pupil are entranced and insist that she try out for a dancing competition. Later, a star in Monaco, she receives word that her benefactor is ill.

Albert Cappelani's late short -- he would soon begin directing features -- is a sentimental affair that takes full advantage of Mlle Napierkowska's youthful beauty and training as a dancer. Even more, he focuses on her hands, which possess a graceful beauty which I had never noticed before in her later movies.
