In 1930 DWG produced his first sound film ABRAHAM LINCOLN, starring Walter Houston. This short was created to serve as the prelude. Around the same time, Birth Of A Nation was slightly re-cut and retrofitted with a synchronized music and effects track, for which this bit also may have served as a prelude. The sound version was issued for a split second on VHS back in the 1980's and the trailer can be found on TH-cam if you search hard enough.
What a treasure! Thank you.
