They include “A Fairy Storv By the Fire,” sung to a group of children on the grounds of his own estate at Monasterevan in Ireland. Angela Campbell Mclnness wrote the music and Oscar Meirkanto wrote the words. “A Pair of Blue Eyes” was written especially for the picture by William Eernell. An exceptionally fine programme of shorter talkie items adds to the enjoyment of the evening.
