    SO fun seeing this! My mom is Barbara Brier, playing Trix Parker. Have never seen her on film before- thought this film had been lost to time. Also, my father is Arthur Dreifuss, who wrote, produced, and directed this film. Thanks so much for posting this here- what a delight seeing my mom on film!

      She's so pretty and sweet. I enjoyed the violinist, and the acting cast too. I remember seeing her in movies and lots of the others too. It must have been an interesting life with her. Thanks for mentioning it.

      @@debbabbit5823 Thanks so much for the kind comment. My mom got out of the "biz" not long after this, in the early 50s. I believe that as a young upcoming, but not established, ingenue, getting pregnant took you out of the studio contract system. A big star could weather it but actresses like my mom were dropped by studios if they became pregnant. A different era for sure. We knew mom had done some acting after being in the Miss California Pageant, but she kept it under wraps most of her life. We discovered a treasure trove of hundreds of studio pics from Warner Brothers, Columbia, RKO Pictures, and more after she passed away. The boxes of memorabilia hadn't been touched in nearly 50 years. Fun fact, mom also designed all the period costumes for this film, and helped in the re-writes of the script. The Hollywood Reporter called her a "Jane of all trades" in a review of the film. And I actually never even met my father, Arthur Dreifuss, as they divorced when I was about 3 months old. Hollywood scandal...LOL! Thanks again for the comment...you are sweet to leave it.

      Wow! Your mother bless her soul was a multi-talented lady; It's a shame that she had to quit for that reason, she did such beautiful work and was the miss California pageant... Persons like that do not come around too often. I am sure you are very proud. I hope you had a good life with her and even though she was dropped by studios, she had a good life. Thanks for sharing and God bless!

    For my 10th birthday, I received a beautifully illustrated copy of 'An Old Fashioned Girl' -- which I read and re-read for years, until the book nearly fell apart! To me, it's equal to 'Little Women' on my favorites list.
    I had no idea a movie was ever made, and can't wait to see it! I'll save it for the weekend, when I can cocoon in my room and ignore the outside world for a while. Thank you kindly for the upload!

    Beautiful dreamer,
    Wake unto me
    Starlight and dewdrops
    Are awaiting thee
    Sounds of the rude world
    Heard in the day
    Led by the moonlight
    Have all passed away
    Beautiful dreamer,
    Queen of my song
    List' while I woo thee
    With soft melody
    Gone are the cares of
    Life's busy throng
    Beautiful dreamer
    Awake unto me
    Beautiful dreamer,
    Awake unto me

    I´ve read the book many times when I was a girl. I found this film QUITE different ! Polly teached Maude to sew with Grandmother: they made cloth for dolls; Polly went to skate on snow with Tom; Miss Mills flirted without telling her father; Polly was tempted with a pair of golden boots and spent all her money buying them. So she made a present for each one in her family with her own hands, knitting and sewing...

      Grace Semenzato a movie can only present few moments in a written story and I think they did well to emphasise the music and almost turn it into a musical which was very much in vogue at the time....it caught the spirit of the story well though...

    Her first Student is a little Girl whose Mother just snobbishly approved of her first song to learn that ends with the words "Magic Spell!" That's weird!
