The strident din of New York's
: seething Ghetto, attuned to the
eternal laughter in human hearts—
that's Humoresque.
A story of a lad with the wond
rous gift of music, of a girl and a
mother who loved him.
The night before he was the great
musician, plating to rapturous mul
titudes; now he was just a plain
old mother's “baby”, playing to
her and the girl he loved. Perhaps
he should play no more—perhaps
not see them again. So he played
"Humoresque”—that laugh on life,
with a tear behind it. and was gone
—where? —why?
