What happens

The Veiled Woman is a 1929 American Synchronized sound drama film directed by Emmett J. Flynn and starring Lia Torá, Lupita Tovar, and Walter McGrail, also featuring Bela Lugosi. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the sound-on-film Movietone process. This film was initially advertised as being an All-Talking sound film, but at the last minute, the producer decided to film it as a synchronized sound film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
