THE STORY: Stephen and Susan have always loved each other and are engaged to be married. But Jane, too, has always loved Stephen. Stephen’s unsympathetic family, however, force him to leave for Cincinnati to take a job in his brother’s shipping yards, to forget his desire to write songs, and finally to prove that he can support a wife. While he is away, his rival, Andrew Robinson, woos, wins, and marries Susan. Stephen determines to live his own life in the face of all opposition. He returns to Pittsburgh, learns what Susan has done, and marries Jane. This does not alter Stephen’s love for Susan, nor Susan’s for Stephen. But Jane’s charm and understanding save the situation. Time also draws Susan to Andrew’s standards, thus helping Stephen to fall out of love with Susan and in love with Jane. This romantic story of the most interesting part of Foster’s life, dramatic in itself, is made doubly attractive by the inclusion of all the most famous Foster songs, piano and vocal music for which is included in the text.
