The spell is finally broken by the love of a girl (Sylvia Bremer). The second big picture stars Marguerite Clark in "Prunella," a dainty production, which tells the simple story of a sweet and innocent maiden who falls in love with and marries a strolling player After tlie wedding Pierrot's fancy begins to wander, and he deserts his Pierrette.
