Actually, the people on the silent movie Facebook page helped me out a lot. I'll post what I've learned soon.
You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

It's The Silent Film Group, but I'm probably going to post it anyway. (Maybe even a blog post after I see if I can find even more info!)

Wow! That's an amazing picture! Isn't it so great that even though we can't actually watch them in motion, we have so many stills of lost photoplays?

OoOoOoh! How pretty! I wonder if this came out around Christmas time? It's got that color scheme going on.

Look at this neato film ad featuring Harry Houdini! Guess what? Not A Serial!

P.S. I just discovered that this still exists! So cool!
