 This film was believed lost for many years. In the 1990s the film  element was found in the Library of Congress, having been mislabeled  as a trailer for _Jazz Singer, The (1927)_ (qv). Several months  later the Vitaphone disk surfaced from a collector in Maryland, who  had retained it despite it having been broken into five pieces.  Through extraordinary restoration efforts, the print of the film is  in excellent condition with wonderful sound (and no trace of the  broken disk).
