Here's whats on the DVD's:

Rare Silent Collection #10 has 5 silent films on it.

Lulu's Doctor (1912) Maurice Costello and Clara Kimball Young Clara breaks her engagement to head west to take care of her orphaned niece. Years later Clara returns east with her niece. When the niece needs a doctor Clara reconnects with her former fiance.

Two Birds In A Cage aka Stars and Stripes (1921) Sidney Smith Two guys are skinny dipping when their clothes are taken by escaped convicts. Having nothing else to wear they put on the convicts striped uniforms and are promptly arrested and sent back to prison from which they then plot to escape.

A Happy Accident aka Speed Madness (1925) Frank Merrill To keep the old homestead from being foreclosed, a mother agrees to have her daughter marry the deep-dyed villain who hold the mortgage. However, the daughter has a race-car-driving fiancée who objects, and sets about getting a patent on his new-and-improved automobile valve.

Boobs In The Woods (1925) Harry Langdon Chester Winfield tries to make it as a lumberjack, but he's foiled by his lack of strength and the jealous foreman, Big Bill Reardon, after Chester catches the eye of Hazel Wood, Big Bill's favorite and the camp's waitress. Bill tries to eliminate Chester, so he and Hazel head down the mountain for other work. She waits tables and gets him a job as a dishwasher. He spills kerosene in the soup and then must serve it to an angry customer. Hazel tells a couple of tall tales about Chester, and soon all the customers, the owner, and the cook, think he's a desperado. They make him the saloon bouncer. Some trick shooting seals his reputation. Then Big Bill arrives for a showdown.

Fatty & Minnie He-Haw (1915) Fatty Arbuckle, Minta Durfee Fatty steals a ride on a train, discovered, and put off in the middle of nowhere. He stumbles along over the hot desert and finally passes out. A very plump Indian woman finds him and takes him to her tepee, woos him and finally, in desperation, Fatty agrees to marry her. While the tribe is preparing for the marriage ceremony, Fatty attempts to escape but is caught.

Here is Rare Silent Collection #11 which has 6 films

The Conflicts End (1912) Marion Leonard A newspaper woman buys a statuette from an Italian peddler and is given her change in counterfeit bills. Throught the peddler, she tracks down the counterfeiters.

Take The Air (1923) James Parrott James Parrot works on the building of a sky scraper. Note this is a very poor copy from an old 9.5mm print.

Freddy Goes Greek aka Greek Meets Greek (1920) Eddie Boland Freddy is fascinated by the ancient Greeks and his sister and her friends try to cure him by living just like the Greeks until he gives up.

Negrita (ca 1920) Looks like a short Our Gang type film. Negrita is a little black toddler who prefers to play with geese rather than the rest of the gang.

Rose O' Salem Town (1912) Dorothy West, Henry B Walthall A Deacon coming onto a "wild child" (Dorothy West) but after she rejects him he goes back into town saying that the girl and her mother are witches. It's up to a trapper (Henry B. Walthall) to try and race and save them before they're burned to death

Desert Rat (1919) Franklyn Farnum Steve Lanyon known as the Desert Rat returns with gold and saloon owner Brazos Pete plots to get it. After he gets his girl friend to marry Steve hoping that will do it, Steve's old girl friend arrives and when Brazos is attracted to her, Sadie gets jealous and kills Brazos. Sadie flees and when the Sheriff arrives he finds the new girl with the gun in her hand.

Here is Rare Silent Collection #12 with four films.

A Desparate Scoundrel aka Dirty Work In A Laundry (1915) Ford Sterling, Minta Durfee
"A Desperate Scoundrel" begins with Ford being chased from the park when he's caught trying to steal milk from a baby! He then directs his larcenous talents towards a laundry. After stealing a wad of cash, the owner eventually realizes what has happened and the chase is on

Love and Rubbish (1913) Ford Sterling Ford Sterling appears in this as Mr. Fickle. He flirts with women in the park and starts considerable trouble. His rival rides down hill in a barrel into the lake. The children thumbing their noses at the close was a bad piece of business in an otherwise fairly good reel. Many exhibitors will prefer to cut this off.

Be My King (1928) Lupino Lane, Wallace Lane Sight gags is what Lupino Lane did. Lupino was absolutely mind-blowing as a rubbery stunt comic. This film is hilarious but it is unfortunate that the racial material (the cannibals are whites in blackface) is truly embarrassing today.

Ten Of Spades (1914) Victory Bateman, William Garwood Jess was a waif, she just came into the camp one day. Nancy, of the "dance hall," saw marks of coming beauty in the child and befriended her and guarded her closely. After three years of Nancy's care and training, Jess was graceful and pretty and had been so carefully watched that she was a stranger almost in camp.
