Nearby is the shop of Magus, a crafty art dealer, who covets the old musician's treasures and bribes Cibot to let him see them. Pons goes to call on his relatives, the De Marvilles, and is first snubbed, then made much of, by the women, who, believing him to be poor, change their opinion of him when Monsieur de Marville declares that Pons has a rich friend who might marry Cevile. But Frederick Brunner, the rich friend, refuses to be a party to Pons' matchmaking, saying that he is too old to marry a selfish girl like Cecile. Enraged, Cecile orders Pons from the house, and this cruel treatment prostrates him. Cibot tells the De Marvilles that her master is very rich, and they come to see him. On promise of an annuity if Pons dies without making a will, Cibot puts slow poison in his medicine. She also sells some of his rarest treasures to Magus. Pons makes a will leaving everything to Schmucke, and thereby creates one of the tensest situations in all drama. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
