A treasure of 250 silent films discovered in a barn in Temperance, Mich., include a full version of Thomas Ince’s “The Italian” and a comedy featuring Oliver Hardy as a villain, according to workers at the Library of Congress film restoration laboratory in Dayton, Ohio. About 50 of 300 reels were too badly deteriorated to salvage, a library spokesman said. Robert Uhl, a University of Toledo student, said his family had discovered the cache of films, apparently collected by his grandfather while studying film making in the 1920s.
