TOBY, LAW STENOGRAPHER

Even the barren streets of a lower middle class section of Brooklyn possess a poignant beauty when one is just out of high school. And for Toby, a pretty girl with a passionate love for music, Brooklyn becomes the scene of an intense romantic conflict, on one side of which stands the egocentric composer, Toni, and on the other, Bill, a substantial young lawyer. Toby's choice, her realization that a consistent love and sharing are for her the only guarantee for contentment, evolves through her experience as a responsible employee of a law firm, and it is with mature assurance that she puts away childish things and assumes her role as a woman. A really very mechanical teen-age story with a few moments of more than surface perception. Little vocational value.
