Preservation

The original Technicolor sequence was found in a Dutch print which had Dutch titles inserted in several places. This print was restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive. Unfortunately, sections of those sequences were lost when Dutch titles were inserted, and some of the cuts from color to sepia tinted black and white are not smooth. Additionally, two songs are missing from all existing prints that were in the original release: "The Call of the South" and "Knights of the Road". They were written by Irving Berlin and sung by Al Jolson.
