I had the good fortune to see The Wind at the old revival theater (complete with live organ music) in downtown Ann Arbor Michigan when I was going to college. I watched from the balcony of course because that's the only place to really watch a movie. (I dare say the balcony was where the "colored folks" were restricted to back in the day. ) Back then she was one of my idols, I completely adored her. Have you ever seen Night of the Hunter?
I also suffered through a horrible copy of Broken Blossoms on a really fuzzy and tiny tv set with foil wrapped around the antenna. That was way before YouTube and Netflix, when restored movies were just becoming a "thing".
