The Old Tragedian

Talby is a celebrated tragedian. Among his most fervent admirers is Gaby Sombreuse. One day, Gaby meets her idol in the flesh and is... very disappointed. Talby, for his part, falls madly in love with the young woman while realizing the age gap is impassable. Six years later old age takes its toll: nobody wants Talby on the boards any more. To survive, the old thespian has no other choice but to become a clown in a small circus.
