What happens

Brothers is a 1929 American sound drama film directed by Scott Pembroke and featuring Cornelius Keefe and Barbara Bedford. The film is one of the last produced in the sound-on-film process known as Phonofilm. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
