Cinecon Restoration page (These have

already been screened at previous Cinecons) Some films that Cinecon has helped

to preserve through its contributions are His Glorious Night (1929) the

notorious early talkie that is said to have destroyed John Gilbert's movie

career, Lena Rivers (1915) a rare early feature by actress Beulah Pointer who

had earlier adapted the famed novel for the stage, Bud's Recruit (1918) an

unusual example of director King Vidor's earliest surviving screen work, and

Wild Bill Hickok (1923) William S. Hart's long unseen Western, for which

Cinecon paid to make a screening print.
