Wiki.
Take the Heir is a 1930 American synchronized comedy sound film directed by Lloyd Ingraham and starring Edward Everett Horton, Dorothy Devore and Edythe Chapman. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects and featured a theme song that was sung by an uncredited tenor. The film was produced during the transition to sound film and a separate silent version was also released. Location shooting took place around Broadway. A review in the Motion Picture News considered the film "very, very weak" and a waste of Everett Horton's talents.
