It exists on film but has never been released on VHS or DVD. I believe Films Inc might have had a print in the old days. I have seen it screened at film festivals in 16mm. I can't imagine why Harvard would have a VHS as it was never released. I am sure there are physical prints in archives. I think it likely Eastman has a 16mm from the Everson collection since he had a lot of Fox prints. There is also a good chance LOC has a copy so if I student or prof needs to view it, they could try that.
Anyway the short answer is it is not available on VHS or DVD for purchase, but it is around. The silent version also exists.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
