But Mama's wishes prevail and the son appears at Carnegie Hall as the composer-conductor-pianist of a modern horn concerto, with Harry James as the soloist. Frank McHugh is along as a Carnegie Hall porter and doorman, and Martha O'Driscoll is a singer who provides the love interest for Prince. Throughout the story a brigade of classical music names from the 20th century appear - the conductors Walter Damrosch, Bruno Walter, Artur Rodzinski, Fritz Reiner and Leopold Stokowski; singers Risë Stevens, Lily Pons, Jan Peerce and Ezio Pinza, plus pianist Artur Rubinstein, cellist Gregor Piatigorsky and violinist Jascha Heifetz.
