Description
Presumed to be lost forever, these two silent films by the brothers Ford have been recently rediscovered and are presented here in new 35mm prints. When Lincoln Paid recreates an episode from the life of our 16th president. Upstream is a multi-character entertainment about a group of performers in a theatrical boarding house and the developing love triangle between a knife-thrower, his pretty target, and the hammy Shakespearean actor she adores.
