I thought this youtuber's project might be of interest:

Clip #2, seems to be Pauline Frederick.

The IMDb lists them as both appearing in two pictures: Evidence (1929) and Sold (1915). I would imagine it would be easy to tell from costuming, set decoration, and so forth if those are the sole choices.

The Pauline Frederic clip is the first video and she is immediately followed by Dale Fuller. I didn't recognize the older couple who walk off to end the clip, but i'd say The Sacred Flame (1929) which is indeed lost. Check the dress below. Lowell Sherman is in the second video with the film frames. Isnt' he with Mae Murray?

On the second video, still #109 is from Those Love Pangs (1914), a scene not found in any print currently available.
Charlie Chaplin, Chester Conklin and Hellen Carruthers are all on the table, and I have not seen this before. The versions on circulation don't have this scene, at the start, the actors are all standing up. With the actors at the table scenes is probably the very beggining of this Keystone short ?
