Anyone know if the widescreen version of the film (as shown back in 1927) was just cropped from the 1.37:1 or 1.33:1 ratio, or if it was actually shot with special lenses or something? In any case, do any widescreen prints survive?

As I understand it Magnavision was a presentation technique rather than a filming one. It used the same print but a larger screen (using a shorter lens) and cropping (no specific cropping as each theater was different. You can approximate it on most 16x9 TV's by zooming the arial scenes.
