Only a small fraction of all the silent movies have survived because the nitrate film used in that era was unstable and flammable and due to their general neglect as newer technologies arrived (sounds familiar). In many cases, all that remains of these early glamorous movie stars are the cigarette cards and trading cards that feature them.
