OPERA HOUSE
The beloved and famous melodies that are America’s only real folk music, and the thrilling story of the man who wrote them, screens at the Opera House to-day in a magnificent Technicolour motion picture, 20th Century-Fox's “Swanee River,” the story of Stephen C. Foster, the great American troubadour. One leaves the theatre with ears ringing with the melodies that seem to express the very heart of America—- “ The Old Folks at Home” (Swanee River), “Old Black Joe,” “My Old Kentucky Home,” “De Camptown Races,” “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair,” “Ring, Ring de Banjo,” and “Oh! Susanna!” Oho leaves, too, with a sensation of having been thoroughly stirred and thrilled by the romantic drama of Foster's story-like life.
