I would just mention that there are actually *two* versions of this film: the sound ("talkie")version and a part sound / part silent (with titles) version (this was at the dawn of the "talkie" era when people such as Laurel & Hardy had sound and silent versions of their films).
The difference here is not only dialogue vs. title cards, but the two versions are edited a bit differently (true of the Laurel & Hardy hybrids, too).
In the part sound / part silent version, there is no dialogue but you do get all the John McCormack singing.
This movie is a real creaker and it badly needs restoring, but I give it 8 points for: 1) Irish location filming. 2) It's Maureen O'Sullivan's film debut. 3) The John McCormack concert sequence. 4) In the talkie version there's a Irish "vaudeville" bit at the beginning.
