This budget DVD edition has likely been mastered at faster than natural speed from a good 8mm reduction print.
The film is accompanied by a soundtrack compiled from preexisting recordings.
The supplemental material consists of the short comedy spoof Then Came the Yawn (1934), an Educational Films production originally distributed by Fox Film Corporation. This is not the Vitaphone sound film from 1932, as is sometimes reported.
