- Stephen Foster (Douglass Montgomery) composes "Oh Susanna" for his first love Susan (Evelyn Venable), and then everybody is singing it.
Harmony Lane is a biographical movie directed by Joseph Santley (1935) on Stephen Foster (1826--1864) early success, decline and death. "Oh Susanna" was first published in 1848.
This video contains two scenes from the movie showing the composition process. Between the piano lesson scene and the birthday party scene, there was still another scene unrelated to the composition, hence it was omitted in this video; but you can see it in the original movie

The movie is in the public domain.
It was the song of the 49ers, and the Wagon Trains going west. 169 years later and it's still one of the most popular folk songs ever written. It's often the simpler "catchy" tunes that pass the test of time.
Douglass Montgomery is an interesting actor. He played in an unusual number of great movies without himself ever being remembered.
William S. I loved him in Waterloo bridge
This is so beautiful !
Evelyn Venable was from Cincinnati. i believe she posed for the "Columbia" logo. My Uncle married her daughter, Rosalia.
She was also famously known for the voice of the blue fairy in Pinnochio
