Gone, but not forgotten

Warning: Spoilers
"The Miracle Man" an an American black-and-white silent film from 1919, so this one will have its 100th anniversary two years from now and how amazing would it be that the unlikely event happens that they do find more scenes from this lost movie. It runs for 80 minutes roughly, but only around 2.5 minutes still exist as of now, 2 scenes apparently one involving a gang of criminals planning a scheme, the other the miracle of a disabled boy being able to walk again, probably the emotional highlight at the end of the film showing people that even with all the bad and evil existing in the world that miracles are still bound to happen. I read that there was a reconstructed version of this film running for slightly over half an hour and they used photos from the production apparently to make that one. Not sure what to think of that, yes it may be as good as it gets as it's unlikely we will ever get this film back, but then again it probably has not too much to do with the vision and effort by George Loane Tucker and Lon Chaney here. Please let me know and send me an email if anything else from the film ever resurfaces as I will immediately check it out then and adjust my review. Here's hoping it will.
