The big sound film sensations of the year all took advantage of preexisting celebrity. On May 20, 1927, at New York City's Roxy Theater, Fox Movietone presented a sound film of the takeoff of Charles Lindbergh's celebrated flight to Paris, recorded earlier that day. In June, a Fox sound newsreel depicting his return welcomes in New York City and Washington, D.C., was shown. These were the two most acclaimed sound motion pictures to date. In May, as well, Fox had released the first Hollywood fiction film with synchronized dialogue: the short "They're Coming to Get Me", starring comedian Chic Sale. After rereleasing a few silent feature hits, such as "Seventh Heaven", with recorded music, Fox came out with its first original Movietone feature on September 23: "Sunrise", by acclaimed German director F. W. Murnau. As with "Don Juan", the film's soundtrack consisted of a musical score and sound effects (including, in a couple of crowd scenes, "wild", nonspecific vocals).
