That's my question. I guess I don't care that much about the movie itself, but I would love to see what the 70mm version looked like. I wasn't aware that any of the large format films from the 1920s and 30s had survived (aside from Napoleon, which had the triptych sequences near the end).

The ones that I'm aware of are as follows:
1926 Rollercoaster Ride Essany Corp. 63mm Natural Version
1926 Niagra Falls Essany Corp. 63mm Natural Version
