The silent version of this film (with Czech subtitles) survives but it does not have any color sequences. No prints of the sound version are known to exist. The complete soundtrack survives on
Vitaphone disks. Unfortunately, the silent version was either a B negative or an alternate take with intertitles. So while this is a valid version, it doesn't match up with the Vitaphone soundtrack at all.
