Trailers for lost silent films


The above is a wonderful collection of trailers for silent films that just no longer exist. Uploaded to Youtube by "MrDavidcairns." It is well worth watching in full, One caveat: I am so sick of "silent film" music- the vaguely ragtime piano. TCM a couple of months ago showed a wonderful King Vidor silent Wild Oranges from 1924 with terrific new music by one of their silent score winners, who's name, unfortunately I cannot remember.
