“Tumbleweeds (1925), directed by King Baggot, and starring and produced by William S. Hart. It depicts the Cherokee Strip land rush of 1893. The film is said to have influenced the Oscar-winning 1931 Western Cimarron, which also depicts the land rush.”

“The Gunfighter (1917), directed by and starring William S. Hart. The UK premiere of a new reconstruction of this previously lost film, combining an incomplete original nitrate print with two 9.5mm copies. Produced by historian and editor Christopher Bird together with Kevin Brownlow, with recreated title cards by Fritzi Kramer.” (Kennington Bioscope)
