               In               his               brief               lecture               accompanying               the               showing               of               the               restored               film,               Professor               Lawrence               Benaquist,               the               head               of               Keene               State               College's               Cinema               Studies,               explained               why               the               discovery               of               a               print               of               When               Lincoln               Paid               was               such               a               major               event.

(Cineastes               from               as               far               away               as               Taiwan               in               the               audience.)               Benaqusist               said               that               90%               of               silent               films               have               been               lost.

To               find               a               film               by               the               man               who               influenced               the               greatest               American               director               was               a               significant               event.
               Benaquist               explained               that               there               are               common               motifs               running               through               this               film               and               John               Ford               films,               such               as               his               famous               Cavalry               cycle               of               the               late               1940s,               such               as               a               focus               on               ritual.

When               Lincoln               Paid               features               a               battle               scene,               and               there               are               scenes               featuring               cavalry               troops,               a               standard               of               "Jack"               Ford's               ouvre.
               I               noticed               that               one               of               the               rituals               of               When               Lincoln               Pays               shares               with               John               Ford's               films               is               a               party               (called               a               "fair"               in               this               film),               that               was               similar               to               the               famous               officer-enlisted               men               &               wives               ball               scene               in               Fort               Apache.
               Professor               Benaquist               explained               that               the               movie               has               the               theme               of               debt               and               repayment,               which               John               Ford               would               repeat               in               his               own               Young               Mr.

Lincoln               (1939),               albeit               John's               Lincoln               was               not               the               compassionate               Lincoln               of               Francis               Ford.

(The               elder               Ford               had               a               small,               uncredited               role               in               the               film.)
               Another               theme               that               I               noticed               in               When               Lincoln               Pays               that               could               be               found               in               some               of               the               younger               Ford's               films               was               mother               love.
               The               value               of               such               a               find               is               cultural,               not               monetary,               according               to               Professor               Benaquist,               for               unless               the               found               film               was               made               by               a               major               director               like               Josef               von               Sternberg               or               was               the               footage               cut               out               of               a               classic               like               Orson               Welles'               The               Magnificent               Ambersons,               there               is               no               commercial               value.
               At               the               time               of               When               Lincoln               Paid               was               released,               there               were               three               to               five               movie               theaters               in               Keene,               New               Hampshire               (which               currently               has               a               population               of               23,000               now,               but               only               10,000               in               the               1910               census).

The               Civil               War               had               been               over               for               less               than               half-a-century,               and               until               the               outbreak               of               World               War               One,               the               War               Between               the               States               was               a               major               subject               for               the               newly               born               movie               industry.

(Indeed,               the               most               popular               film               in               terms               of               box               office               gross               until               Gone               With               the               Wind,               another               Civil               War-themed               movie,               was               the               Civil               War-themed               Birth               of               a               Nation.)
               According               to               Professor               Benaquist,               films               like               When               Lincoln               Pays               provide               a               mirror               on               the               consciousness               of               the               times               in               which               they               were               made.

Before               TV               and               the               radio,               the               movies               were               -               along               with               newspapers               and               magazines               -               the               major               channel               by               which               cultural               was               transmitted               to               a               mass               audience.

Furthermore,               the               films               are               significant               in               that               they               just               didn't               recreate               history,               but               in               fact,               created               it.

For               better               or               worse,               the               movies               transmitted               our               national               narratives.
               [To               understand               what               When               Lincoln               Pays               meant               to               a               contemporary               audience,               one               can               think               of               what               World               War               Two               means               to               the               History               Channel,               then               multiply               the               effect               as               the               movies               in               1913               were               more               powerful               than               a               single               cable               TV               channel,               with               apologies               to               Fox               News.

In               the               1940s,               '50s               &               '60s,               World               War               II               continued               to               be               a               major               subject               not               only               on               films,               but               on               TV               also.

Then               realize               that               in               January               1913,               the               Civil               War               had               been               over               for               almost               48               years,               as               distant               to               the               contemporary               audience               as               President               John               F.

Kennedy's               assassination               is               to               the               audience               that               watched               the               restored               film               in               2010.]
               The               Restoration
               Tom               Cook,               professor               of               film               production               at               Keene               State               College,               assembled               the               restored               print               together               from               the               nitrate               negative               salvaged               from               the               barn               and,               incredibly,               a               videotape               of               a               now-lost               8-mm               print               of               the               film.

He               used               a               variety               of               software               including               Avid               Movie               Composer.
               The               discovered               print               was               sent               to               Eastman               House,               the               venerable               film               archive               ,               which               washed               the               print,               thus               enabling               it               to               be               transferred               to               digital               files.

Some               of               the               nitrate               print               was               so               decayed               it               couldn't               be               salvaged,               and               the               videotape               was               used               to               supply               unsalvageable               scenes               and               scenes               missing               from               the               found               print.
               The               beginning               of               the               film,               which               likely               contained               a               violent               thunderstorm               that               threatens               the               life               of               young               Abe               Lincoln,               the               circuit-riding               lawyer,               is               lost.

The               restorers,               drawing               on               a               synopsis               of               the               film               from               the               old               Motion               Picture               Herald,               provided               a               title               card               that               sets               the               scene               for               what               follows.
               When               one               considers               the               quality               of               the               resulting               effort,               it               is               nothing               short               of               amazing.

(A               commercial               DVD               of               John               Barrymore's               1923               The               Sea               Beast,               which               I               rented               via               Netflix,               is               of               much               poorer               quality               than               what               was               on               display               at               Keene               State.)
               Professor               Cook               said               the               restoration               will               continue,               and               he               plans               to               clean               up               the               visible               nitrate               decay.
               In               addition               to               the               George               Eastman               House,               the               restoration               was               made               possible               by               the               National               Film               Preservation               Foundation               and               the               Academy               of               Motion               Picture               Arts               &               Sciences.
