Ha ha, I even saw at a few points in the last day that Tim Conway and Don Knotts in The Private Eyes was garnering more attention.

I am not too surprise about it. Silent movies only attract a certain amount of attention when release for home, even more so in theaters. Most people could not be bothered with silent movies, they would find them boring, the acting over the top and cheesie and too old to watch. It's alright really, not forcing anyone to like anything they would not care to see. Only trouble is the lack of interest sort of make it difficult for KINO and others to spend so much money on restauration and releases of such movies
