What happens

Black Magic is a 1929 American Synchronized sound pre-Code drama film directed by George B. Seitz. While the film has no audible dialogue, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. The sound was recorded using the Movietone sound system sound-on-film process and then transferred to sound-on-disc format for those theatres who could only play the sound-on-disc format. As of 2024, no prints of the film have survived in archives. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
