Silent Movies were called 'Silents', or Golden Silents, because they were (silent).
One famous example of a Silent is The Sheik (1921), starring Rudolph Valentino as Ahmed Ben Hassan, by Paramount Pictures.
FYI...
• The 1920s were known as The Silent Era.
• Sound was not introduced into movies until 1923.
• Talkies (movies with sound) replaced Silents in 1930.

Did silent movies have pianos playing during them?
Silent movies, as they originally ran in theaters, had no sound at all. It was a given that the theater pianist (or organist, usually) would add sound by "playing along" with the film (a rare skill that has pretty much died out today). When you watch a silent movie now, and hear music, it was added to the soundtrack in the studio in part to mimic the experience of viewers during original theater runs. By the way, 'silent movies' were not called that when they were popular; they were called simply "movies" since they were the only kind of movie that anyone knew about until the 'talkies' came along and quickly made silent films obsolete.
