Line 130: | Lower caption = Poster for the original release. }} The finest quality print of the film existing was struck from an original camera negative for [[George Eastman House]] in the early 1950s by Universal Pictures. The original 1925 version only survives in 16 mm "Show-At-Home" prints created by Universal for home movie use in the 1930s. There are several versions of these prints, but none is complete. All are off the original, domestic camera negative. Because of the better quality of the Eastman House print, many home video releases have opted to use this as the basis of their transfers. This version has singer Mary Fabian in the role of "Carlotta". In the re-edited version, Virginia Pearson, who played "Carlotta" in the 1925 film, is credited and referred to as "Carlotta's Mother" instead. The majority of silent footage in the 1930 version is actually from a second camera, used to photograph the film for foreign markets and second negatives- careful examination of the two versions shows similar shots are slightly askew in composition. In 2009 Reelclassicdvd.com issued a special edition multi-disc DVD set which included a match-shot, side by side comparison between the two versions, editing the 1925 show-at-home print's narrative and continuity to match the Eastman House print. For the 2003 Image Entertainment/Photoplay Productions two-disc DVD, the 1930 soundtrack has been re-edited in an attempt to fit the Eastman House print as best as possible. However, there are some problems with this attempt: There is no corresponding "man with lantern" sequence on the sound discs. While the purely silent "music and effect" reels seem to follow the discs fairly closely, the scenes with speech (which at one point constituted about 60% of the film) are generally shorter than their corresponding sequences on the discs. Also, since the sound discs were meant for a projection speed of 24 frames per second (the established speed for sound film), and the film on the DVD is presented at a slower frame rate (to reproduce natural speed), the soundtrack as edited has been altered to run slower. A sound reissue trailer included for the first time on the DVD runs at sound speed with the audio running at the correct pitch. On November 1, 2011, Image Entertainment will release a new [[Blu-ray Disc]] version of ''Phantom'', produced by Film Preservation Associates, the film preservation company owned by [[David Shepard (film preservationist)|David Shepard]].<ref>[http://www.silentera.com/ SilentEra website main page, New Releases]</ref> ===Eastman House print mystery=== Line 168 ⟶ 171: [[Image:Phantomtechnicolor.jpg|thumb|300px|right|The Bal Masqué scene was highlighted by its use of the Technicolor process.]] According to As with many films of the time, black and white footage was [[Film tinting|tinted]] various colors to provide mood.
