This DVD-R edition has been mastered from an older, tightly-cropped, fair to good 8mm reduction print that appears to be an abridged version of the film. Dust, speckling, splices, emulsion scuffing, frame jitters, and other print flaws are present.
The presentation is accompanied by a cobbled-together soundtrack of preexisting jazz music recordings.
Supplemental material includes a Billie Reeves short comedy mastered from a 16mm reduction print.
For now, this is our recommended home video edition of the film.
