Lonesome (1928), The Last Performance (1929), and Broadway (1929) DVD release

Three films directed by Paul Fejos, Lonesome (1928), The Last Performance (1927), and a reconstructed sound version of Broadway (1929)  will be released on DVD later this month. From The Criterion Collection website: "For years, Lonesome has been a rare treat for festival and cinematheque audiences, but it’s only now coming to home video. Rarer still are the two other Fejos films from his Universal years included in this release: The Last Performance and a reconstruction of the previously incomplete sound version of Broadway, in its time the most expensive film ever produced by the studio."
