What happens
The Girl from Chicago is a lost 1927 American synchronized sound criminal romantic drama film directed by Ray Enright and starring Myrna Loy and Conrad Nagel. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the Vitaphone sound-on-disc process. The film was produced and distributed by the Warner Bros. and is based upon a short story by Arthur Somers Roche that appeared in the June 1923 Redbook. The film is one of the earliest starring roles for Loy who at this time, 1927, did not usually star but was a supporting player. Warner Bros. took a chance casting her in a principal part. The studio later made an all-talkie with a suspiciously similar plot in 1930 as Those Who Dance which itself was a remake of the 1924 silent film Those Who Dance. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
