Obviously from the era of 'silent-movies'...Now could this be a candidate for re-construction? Maybe there are those on the list who can 'lip-read' the piece being played on the instruments. Then it could be possible to dub it with a more accurate sound-track of The Dolmetsch Ensemble's brave effort. Films like this are historical gems. At the fore-front of the Early Music revival...
