The Girl on the Barge is a 1929 American sound part-talkie drama film directed by Edward Sloman and starring Jean Hersholt and Sally O'Neil. In addition to sequences with audible dialogue or talking sequences, the film features a synchronized musical score, singing and sound effects along with English intertitles. The sound was recorded using the Western Electric Sound System process. The film was produced and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film was filmed in Whitehall, NY. The town is looking for a copy of the movie but it appears to no longer be extant.[1]
The film featured a theme song entitled "When You Were In Love With No One But Me" which was composed by Fred E. Ahlert, Joseph Cherniavsky and Roy Turk.
Although set on the Erie Canal, The Girl on the Barge was filmed on the Champlain Canal in upper New York with the film crew set up in Glens Falls as the Erie Canal looked too modern and commercialized for the story.[2]
