   About #PublicDomainDay: yes, "The Pilgrim" (1923) along with "Safety Last" and "Our Hospitality" is a classic silent comedy worth watching, but "The Pilgrim" (my fave Chaplin film) also is part of "The Chaplin Revue" which is still under copyright; Chaplin composed soundtracks and re-issued his old films so he'd retain copyright. Here's a country song he wrote for "The Pilgrim", that fellow Brit Matt Monro sings" https://www.hooktube.com/watch?v=9iHamaCYrc8

      I do like Harold Lloyd better, but his ideas on #Copyright and protecting his films have landed him in obscurity compared to other artists who were more lenient (or lost their copyright due to interfering management)
