Here is Rare Silent Collection #13 with two films
Broncho Billy's Sentence (1915) G. M. Anderson Broncho Billy robs a strong box and is followed by a possee. He hides out with a girl and her father forcing her to send the possee on a wild goose chase to save her father. As he leaves he steals a kiss and then she shoots at him grazing his head. He winds up with a preacher and his wife and realizes that he must repent. Broncho Billy turns himself in with the loot and spends his time in prison preaching the gospel until he is paroled.
The Golden Stallion (1927) Maurice Flynn, Joe Bonomo, Molly Malone The first serial Nat Levine produced was "The Silent Flyer", which was distributed by Universal Pictures. "The Golden Stallion" was the first serial that carried the Mascot Pictures logo, as Levine figured out he could make more money distributing his films through the states-rights system himself. This one has good guy Wynne Kendall ('Maurice 'Lefty' Flynn' ) and bad guy Ewart Garth (Joe Bonomo)searching for the secret clue to a fabulous gold mine. But first, they have to capture a wild horse named "White Fury" as the clue is branded on his neck. It only took 10 chapters to get there.
Here is Rare Silent Collection #14 with five films.
Ten Days Or Ten Dollars (1924) Ben Turpin Ben is a soda jerk at a variety store that gets robbed during the night. The cashier whom he is fond of is accused of stealing ten thousand dollars. The real thief convinces Ben that she must pay ten dollars or spend ten days in jail so Ben goes to police to pay the ten dollars and he is then accused of being the thief. Ben escapes and the cashier finds the real thief who is arrested.
Conquest Of The Pole (1912) George Meiles Scientists from all over the world are meeting to discuss the best way to reach the North Pole. Professor Maboul demonstrates for them the innovative equipment that he has designed for the purpose. When everything is ready, Maboul and several other scientists depart for the pole. Their trip will prove to be even more eventful than expected.
Sea Sirens (1919) Bobby Vernon, Patricia Palmer, George Pearce Bobby is an artist who paints girls (Sea Sirens) at the beach. Virginia falls in love with him but her father won't let them marry unless Bobby can paint a picture that he would buy. Of course her father hates every picture. One of the sirens helps frame Virginia's father and Bobby snaps a picture which he uses to paint a picture which the father has to buy to keep it away from his wife thereby fullfilling the terms he set for their marriage.
Under Burning Skies (1912) Blanche Sweet Griffith short about Joe (Wilfred Lucas), a drinking and fighting cowboy who falls for a pretty girl (Blanche Sweet) and swears to his friend that he's going to change his ways. That is until he learns that the girl is leaving with her husband (Christy Cabanne). Embarrassed, Joe goes searching for them for revenge but when he finds them both are near death due to lack of water. Will Joe seek revenge or do something good for once? This here is a pretty good Western that goes back to what Griffith was doing in New York and that is telling morality stories. There's a small chase scene, which is pretty well done, although it's no where near a classic scene for the director. The ending is also very well handled and comes off quite good, which is something the director was great at. The three leads all turn in good performances with Lucas stealing the show as the tough guy. Future Griffith star Robert Harron has a brief role.
Weak Knees (1925) Cliff Bowes, Virginia Vance Virginia Vance and Cliff Bowes are secretly engaged while her father has plans to marry her off to a visiting Count. The Count however is a fake and attempts to steal things from the house with the help of two helpers.
