Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Humoresque is a 1920 film directed by Frank Borzage.Leon Kantor is a boy in a Jewish neighborhood in New York some time during The Edwardian Era, the son of immigrant Jewish refugees from Tsarist Russia. When he sees a violin in a thrift shop he begs his father to buy it, but his father doesn't want to shell out $4. His mother then produces an old violin that Leon's older brother abandoned. Leon can immediately play it like a virtuoso.Cut forward about a decade. Leon has established himself as one of the world's foremost violinists, much to the delight of his parents, giving performances all over the world. And he's fallen in love with Gina Berg, a girl from his neighborhood. All this happiness is gravely threatened by the entry of the United States into The Great War.In 1946 it was loosely remade into a film starring John Garfield as the violinist and Joan Crawford as his lady patron.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Greedy Jew: So the Gentile bullies in Leon's neighborhood think. They gang up on him and draw a dollar sign on the back of his jacket. | |

Funetik Aksent: Used occasionally in the title cards to indicate the Jewish New Yorker accent of Leon's parents, like when Abraham says "This is moosik!" | |

| Humoresque / int_7b0b0907 | comment |
All Jews Are Cheapskates: Leon's father Abraham doesn't want to fork over the money for the violin, trying to convince his son that a cheap kazoo or a tinny music box are just as good. | |

Hypocritical Humor | |
| Humoresque / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: Abraham is scornful of Mama Kantor's desire to encourage her son to be a violinist, wishing instead that Leon would join him in Abraham's brass business. When Leon is later a huge success, Abraham tells Mama Kantor, "Didn't I always tell you that my boy would be someday a fancy feedler?" | |
