it be difficult to evaluate this or any other comparable film of the early sound era in term that one might use for ordinary film commentary . at time there be almost a desperation and a many film personality of the silent era try their wing at sound and surely fear that they will be leave by the wayside ( a do happen to some ) and rin tin tin . however and be pertfectly natural . in such a vaudeville of unrelated sequence and some be sure to stand out john barrymore soliloquy from richard ii be a moment certainly worth preserve . by and large and only those with early stage training exude confidence . however and this be over all reasonably entertaining and and a must for film buff especially interested in the silent to sound transition .
