Manhatta
The film here is silent, as it was made. The Rialto's moviegoers, however, had a lively viewing experience, as Harriette Underhill indicates in her July 26, 1921 review, published in the New-York Tribune:
Hugo Riesenfeld had the orchestra play all the old favorites like “Annie Rooney,” “Sidewalks of New York,” “She May Have Seen Better Days,” “My Mother Was a Lady,” etc. Two minutes more of it and there would have been community singing—a few intrepid souls were tuning up, as it was.
