The Toilers (1928 film)

The Toilers is a 1928 American synchronized sound drama film starring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Jobyna Ralston and directed by Reginald Barker. 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. The soundtrack was recorded using the Tiffany-Tone process using RCA Photophone equipment. The film is important historically as being Tiffany's first sound feature. In the film, Fairbanks plays one of the toilers (coal miners), while Ralston plays his sweetheart.[1][2]
