When listening to these very rare early talking [sound] films dating from 1925 - please be aware that electrical recordings were only introduced commercially ca. March 20, 1925 (Victor) and during that same spring by Columbia. The first partial sound film didn't appear until 1927 [The Jazz Singer - Al Jolson]. Although Lee DeForest was experimenting with sound films ca 1923-1925, recording a few vaudevillians such as Eddie Cantor, actual sound films were in a very primitive state. Even Charlie Chaplin didn't get around to singing his nonsense lyrics to "Titina" until 1931 - 6 years after the song's debut - and even at that point - Chaplin's film was essentially a silent film. As a retired sound recording archivist, Library of Congress - - I'm deeply grateful for the fact that this rare 1925!! sound film even has survived to the present day - - considering that almost 80% of all silent films 1896-1929 have not survived. Enjoy what we still have and try to listen being aware of the experimental nature of what you are listening to.
Fantastico‼️👏🏆
