This DVD edition of this late silent comedy-drama has been transferred from a good to very-good 16mm reduction print.
This silent film is partially accompanied by a post-synchronized soundtrack that is primarily sound effects with a few songs, some incidental music (that sounds as though it were lifted from somewhere else, but probably hasn’t been), and long gaps of silence during whole sections of the film.
