The First Degree (1923) - saw it on TCM tonight, 9-28-2022. This was a very good silent melodrama, starring Frank Mayo, Sylvia Breamer, and Philo McCullough. Apparently it was lost shortly after it premiered in 1923. Amazingly enough, a near-pristine copy was discovered quite by accident 97 years later - at Chicago Film Archives in June of 2020. It was digitally restored, and a modern soundtrack, by the band Quasar Wut-Wut, was added. The result (to my mind, anyway): a very good silent, with a particularly good soundtrack.
Don't know if this can be seen anywhere online, but hopefully TCM will air it again one of these days.
