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...
