Dear Abigail, That's not true --MGM never got it right on this set of titles from UA. In 1936, UA's Art Cinema (Joe Schenck's productions) was dissolved with half of the films being transferred to Mary Pickford. The rights to Evangeline now belong to the Mary Pickford Foundation. (My company, Milestone, brought it out on DVD some years ago but the rights have reverted to MPF.) You can find them on the web with their contact info.
