Kinema Guide Week Commencing DEC 29th. SONG OF MY HEART THIS picture is an important one if only for the fact that it features John McCormack, the great Operatic Tenor. The story, like McCormack himself, of course, is Irish and is pleasing though slight. What you will expect though, when you go to see and hear "Song of My Heart," is music and you will hear plenty of music. The film is definitely worth seeing, or to be more correct, seeing and hearing for. naturally, built, as it has been, around John McCormack's voice, the great appeal is to the ear rather than to the eye. The story was written by Tom Barry who wrote, also, "Courage," another film that is released this week. Alice Joyce, Maureen 0 'Sullivan, little Tommy Clifford and John Garrick figure among the cast. This is the first sound picture in which a part is taken by one of the really great singers. Hannen SwafTer has said, whether he meant to say it or not. that the sound-film is growing at the expense of the theatre. Does "A Song of My Heart" presage a similar state of affairs where music, and not only acting, is concerned? The Winning Film Criticism appears om page i o. 6
