- Support – EV, too bad it's missing audio, I assume the audio is not in public domain. Bammesk (talk) 19:39, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
- It's a silent film - the audio may have been improvised or lost altogether. MER-C 21:29, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
- Theaters usually had an organist playing some incidental music in "sync" with what happened on the screen. Sometimes, studios provided sheet music for specific movies, and if so, composed in 1923 that would be public domain, too - right? Would be nice to find an example... See [1] for examples from other Lloyd films. Support by the way. Janke | Talk 10:23, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
- The recordings themselves are likely still copyrighted for... reasons. The nonsense has been sorted out, but it will take another four years for sounds recorded in 1923 to be PD. The sheet music should be PD, but may have been lost as well. MER-C 11:55, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

- I meant the later music score written for it in 1993, in this video and mentioned in this section. The original music would be nicer of course if it exists. Bammesk (talk) 14:49, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
