"This edition has been digitally transferred from the finest 35mm print at the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House. While not a formal restoration of the 1915 edition ... it has been transferred at the correct frame rate of 16 fps with authentic color tones electronically re-created. The original score by Joseph Broil has been compiled and reorchestrated by RJ Miller, recorded and remixed completely in the digital domain"--Container.
