I listened to this song tonight -- in a different version that I can't find online -- and I thought, because of its topic, it was relevant for this site (not least since it also comes from the late 1920s).
(With a reminder, of course, that the woman at the heart of The Most Remarkable Woman in England was found not guilty.)
"To Keep My Love Alive" (Rogers and Hart), sung by Mary Testa

'Tonight I'm downhearted, for though we have parted I love you and always will.'
Given that Beatrice Pace suggested, in her prison letter of 20 June 1928, that 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' was one of her favourite songs, I thought it might be nice to post a version of the song that was possibly the one she knew and loved.
('Are You Lonesome Tonight', performed by Henry Burr, 1927)
I've come to the opinion that, should it come to a film version of the Pace story (come on, Hollywood, what are you waiting for?! Write me, we'll do lunch), this music would be an important part of its soundtrack.
It connects with the story on many levels.
And, in the context of the events of the 'Fetter Hill Mystery', there's something very haunting about it.
