Narrator : In New York's Tenderloin District in 1909, the many criminal-infested dives presented a grave problem to the law enforcement agencies of the day. it was during this time that a young songwriter, Edward Madden, while working as an undercover agent for the government, found himself posing as a member of the underworld. Properly dismayed because his duties confined him to these dismal surroundings, Eddie's dreams were of more pleasant places and things. Being a songwriter, his dreams found their way into the words of a song to which the beloved Gus Edwards furnished the music. A song that was to become one of the all-time favorites of both young and old alike. By the Light of the Silvery Moon.
