@@hamburgareable read a good biography of Griffith and his works. "Dream Street," was premiered using a synchronized sound track as an experiment, and I believe Griffith himself filmed a sound introduction introducing the film. The exact nature of what survives in terms of a sound version I'm not sure of, you would have to contact someone at the UCLA archive. This is would have been a sound on disc synchronization I believe. It wasn't until the following year that Lee Deforest introduced his first phono films.
Check the credits. The Minister of Good Words is named Tyrone Power. The Tyrone Power that we know was seven years old when this movie premiered. Coincidence or family?!
The UCLA film archive holds a copy of the sound-on-disc version (featuring a spoken intro by the director, a song sung by Ralph Graves, and a tiny bit of sfx). Unlikely that this is the one we'll be seeing tonight.
What ever happened to to the good old days on RUclips where a Cchannel would just upload their content & make it available instead of making it a "premiere" that you had to wait for. Silly me, I thought scheduled programming was a thing of the past. Oh well.

UCLA has a version of this film with the sound on disc, just a little dialogue, music and sound effects
Probably re-recorded in 1927 or something.

👍 to 👀 this 🎥 👋
Will this be the sound version?
Will this be the sound version of a silent movie? I don't know. Never seen it.

This is exactly the same thing, only you get a live chat. You would have had to wait either way, you just wouldn't have a count down before.
Nice clay pipe
