Birds of Passage

Comedy of the lightest type

This is a clever and artistic comedy of the lightest type. It deals with the experiences of a young artist and musician who cannot pay the rent. The tinted pictures are very appealing and the story well presented. - The Moving Picture World, March 14, 1914

Sylvaine and Rosiene are as happy as two birds in a nest. He is a poor struggling artist and his pictures sell slowly. The landlord calls for his rent. Sylvaine cannot pay it and the landlord is about to put them out when Rosiene plays for him on her banjo. So charming is she that he leaves smiling. Sylvaine goes forth in search of rent money with a canvas under his arm. While he is absent the landlord returns and makes ardent love to the charmer. Rosiene repels him and slaps his face. Enraged at this rebuff the old fellow goes forth in search of a bailiff and orders the artist and his pretty wife evicted. The bailiff enters and also falls victim to Rosiene's bewitching manner. She pours a drink for him, but just then her husband's footstep is heard on the stairs and she thrusts the bailiff into a closet, locking the door. Whispering the situation to her husband, he and Rosiene silently have their furniture removed and leave the bailiff meanwhile slowly suffocating in the closet. At this moment the landlord enters and hearing the smothered cries for help frees the poor bailiff.
