Alter the concert lie learns that his former sweetheart died in Ireland approximately at the time a great audience was acclaiming his singing of ‘ 1 Hear Yon Calling Me.’ He abandons the concert tour, goes back to Ireland, and sees that the daughter of the woman he had always loved is happily married to the young man of her choice.
