Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? In a fine residence on the avenue, lives a wealthy man and his wife. They have a little daughter who is an invalid. The doctor on leaving, sees the Italian lingering outside the house and asks him his business, whereupon Beppo shows his violin and tells the doctor of his little friend and the happy times they spent together. The doctor tells him his little friend is sinking fast and seems to miss something. Beppo looks at his violin and brightens. He begins to play. The child hears and the mother and father are startled. The child’s face brightens at once with joy. She calls for Beppo and sends her father to bring him in. Beppo plays again and again the tunes which have been the child’s delight. The doctor notes a change in the child’s condition and tells the distressed parents that their daughter will recover.
