A boy from the streets of New York finds music tickets to a Heifetz concert, which rekindles his earlier interest in the violin. He subsequently runs away from home and happens across a music school for children (played by members of the Peter Meremblum California Youth Symphony Orchestra). He is taken in by kindly Professor Lawson, the head of the school and resumes violin study while sleeping in the basement of the school. Despite the best efforts of Peter and Ann to raise money, the school is about to be foreclosed upon by Flower and associates. The kids in the school, led by Frankie, try to raise money themselves, and run across Heifetz in the process. After many more well-trodden cinematic paths have been navigated, Heifetz finally is convinced to sponsor the school.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzProducer Samuel Goldwyn's attempt to bring classical music to the masses. |
| User ReviewLaura PI absolutely LOVE AND CHERISH THIS FILM...IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY. John Lawson is an amazing screenwriter and Jascha Heifetz is one of the greatest violin players to ever exist |
| User ReviewDave JTuesday, April 26, 2011 (1939) They Shall Have Music SOCIAL COMMENTARY/ DRAMA/ MUSICAL Story reflects on nurturing impoverished underage children who love music and instruments which may seem outdated since alot of successful musicians or music artists are great contributers to music and the arts! Centers on a particular underage teenage kid with aspirations to become a great violinist! Excellent beginning and then after awhile falls to the conventional 'save my musical school' formula with execellent intentions! There's also some excellent violin playing from real life classical violinist aficionado Jascha Heifetz! 3 out of 4 |
