SONG O MY HEART tells an appealing story of youthful love, of sincere

emotion, of honest sentiment.

It reflects the human and

the universal-not the hectic and the jazz-mad. It has enduring beauty-something to enrich the life of every- one that sees and hears it. Maureen O'Sullivan and John Garrick personify the spirit.
