Frank Sinatra sings "If You Are But A Dream" and the title song. In between he lectures some kids on religious tolerance.
Given Sinatra's contract with MGM, and that of his director for this, Mervyn Leroy, it's mildly puzzling why this is an RKO release. But the folks at most of the Majors were hesitant in making a fuss about prejudice. This was because most of them were Jewish, and they worried about fitting in. It took the most WASPish of production heads to push tolerance, as Darryl Zanuck would soon begin to.
Sinatra's voice is in fine form at this point, with plenty of vibrato in his singing.
