@isleofyew1 Isn't that the truth? Robert Woolsey's been gone 75 years, turned to dust long ago, but
here he is as lively as ever. Its a strange thought, almost as if its his ghost on a piece of film.

Actually all the soundtrack to the film that is missing from the technicolor sequence can be found somewhere on the Vitaphone Varieties website.

it shows the real romance was between the two men -- cute!

Actually, they had color in the early 10's. It just wasn't popular until "The Toll Of The Sea" with Anna May Wong in '22

Yes, one of the biggest of 1929, Rio Rita. This film is 100 minutes, but 40 minutes is lost. if it were complete it would be over 2 hours

Yes....direrctly after this act there is supposed to be a jazzy instrumantal tap dance by a huge chorus....but alas it only survives in a "lost" "stolen" or "misplaced" print held my the Museum Of Modern Art. This clip is from the 1932 re-release. Another youtube user has the other vocal of this song up. I have it filed under my favorites.
