Wikipedia article
'Terry of the Times' is a 1930 Universal film serial. It was the 73rd of the 137 serials released by the studio and the 5th to include sound elements. The serial was the last of Universal's part-sound serials, mostly silent productions with occasional recorded sound sequences. In this case, the serial had pre-recorded music and sound effects but no audible dialogue. The next serial released by the studio, 'The Indians are Coming', was an all-sound production. 'Terry of the Times' is considered to be a lost film.
