Well, with "no regular soundtrack" I mean, that there is no definite
version of a soundtrack for it. It's a silent movie from the 20s, and
at that time, some cinemas were maybe having a piano player do the
soundtrack, some others maybe had a little band playing or a real
orchestra.  They were even playing different scores or improvised
music and noises. For many movies from that time, even on DVD today
they have different "soundtracks".
