[1][5][6] Young mother Mary Gordoon (Hunt) is too poor to take care of her infant daughter, and leaves the child at orphanage.

Ann is eventually adopted by a sidewalk musician (Lederer), who teaches her to play the violin.

[12] The song "A Million Hearts Are Calling: Forget Me Not" with words and music by Billy Baskette and Ernest Lutz, was composed and published for the film.

[3][9][15][16] The New York Times reviewer wrote of Hughes's performance that "it is always a pleasure to watch him" and that Love was "sometimes remarkably effective, though occasionally she simpers in an annoying manner".
