Is a shame a fire destroyed most of the one reel comedies, because Lloyd was one of the rare people back then that actively tried to keep most of his films.
It’s the early Lonesome Luke films that have suffered the most. A small percentage of those survive. The glasses one reelers, while there are still too many missing, have a much, much greater survival rate, fortunately. A majority of those survive.
What is the biggest miracle is Chaplin and Keaton only have one lost silent film a piece, and it’s a Keystone and an Arbuckle collaboration.
The biggest stinger for me is Harry Langdon’s HEART TROUBLE. An actual feature from a major comedian.
