- Evidence: First published 1927 (before 1931): US copyright term has expired. Note (2026-10-10): this copy's English intertitles may be a newer translation made for a modern restoration; a new translation can carry its own copyright even though the 1920s film is public domain.
- Music: Silent film: this copy has an added soundtrack of unknown origin, so original audio is MUTED and a CC0 (Musopen) piano bed is played instead.
- Underlying rights: Silent; note: 2010 restoration footage/score may carry new claims - prefer older copies. Needs review: English intertitle translation in this copy (kept on air).
