What happens

She Goes to War is a 1929 American sound part-talkie drama film directed by Henry King and starring Eleanor Boardman. In addition to sequences with audible dialogue or talking sequences, the film features a synchronized musical score and sound effects along with English intertitles. The soundtrack was recorded using the RCA Photophone sound-on-film system. The film was released a year after Boardman had starred in The Crowd. The extant version is incomplete.
