sorry, from everything I can see I'm more willing to trust someone who was actually in the MGDC. I think jlfitz's link to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WUcLG49qYw is correct and the only reason the earlier, similar version didn't quality was because it was too short.

BTW, the name of the poster of the the similar, shorter restoration just happens to be the same as the preacher credited by MGDC. sorry, I misread the title and thought part of it included the poster's name on the shorter piece.

According to the National Film Registry, "This quartet of films, all silent and all starring Graham herself, document four of the artist’s most important early works." Looking for the ca. 1930s version starring Graham.

@ElTejon:
No, that's not it either. I thought so as well, when I first saw that clip. However, the movie is more than just a camera from the audience perspective. This is a different recording. We've discussed this on the forum one year ago. Take a look at this post and also at the stills from the actual movie. They are inside the spoiler-tag of this post.

I still think nobody on ICM has seen the correct version.

No, Rohit. That is a recording from 1959, as it says in the comments of that clip. We're looking for the 1944-version.

18 checks, but I doubt any of those has seen the right clip.

@nymets138:

Wrong version. The one on Hulu Plus is from 1958 and is included in the Criterion Collection release "Martha Graham: Dance on Film". It is not the same as the one in the National Film Registry.
