A RAY OF HOPE IN THE TENEMENTS OF AN AMERICAN CITY

Overview

Set in a tenement, a lonely confirmed bachelor occupies a room across the hall from a dour spinster. Children run amok in the hallways playing pranks on the two. A little girl from the floor above, now alone in the world, brings the pair together and brightens their lives.
