Broken Strings is a 1940 American race film, directed by Bernard B. Ray and produced by L.C.

He favors his student Dickie Morley's classical musical preferences over his own son John's, which tends towards modern swing.

Williams' daughter Grace is romantically interested in a man named Gus, and they both work for the same company that makes hair products, which is owned by a James Stilton.

As a result, Sam refuses to give Grace an advance when she needs to pay for her father's appointment at a doctor that specializes in neurology, Dr. Charles Matson.

Soon after, Grace tells her father that Johnny only played at the club so that they could pay for the neurologist and support themselves since she is currently between jobs.
