1913 Lincoln film found in NH barn cleanup (AP)

CONCORD, N.H. – A executive cleaning out an old New Hampshire stable he was about to explode has found a only well known duplicate of a 1913 silent film about Abraham Lincoln.

Francis Ford stars in "When Lincoln Paid." He's a hermit of John Ford, executive of "The Grapes of Wrath," as well as "The Quiet Man."

Peter Massie gave a nitrate reels to Keene State College, which determined that a movie didn't exist in movie archives. It was a single of eight silent films starring Francis Ford as Lincoln; there are no well known surviving copies of a others.

A Colorado lab has given easy a movie about a mom of a dead Union solider requesting that Lincoln pardon a Confederate infantryman whom she had primarily turned in. The college is holding an Apr twenty screening.
