Charlie Chaplin
Silent Movies were popular because they were the only kind of movies until the late 20's when synchronized sound became mainstream.
The format for movies in the 1910's and 1920's was black and white silent films. No sound, no color. It was actually a reel of film.
1920's
people loved silent films because, let's face it, there were no movies with sound in creation at the time, so the silent film was a big enough step into the future. it was like the ipad. when the first ipad came out, no one cared that there was no 3G, eveyone bought it because it was so cool and revolutionary. then when the ipad 2 came out, everyone thought the first one was obsolete and not as good. also with silent movies, when they first came out they were so cool and new everyone wanted to see one. once the invention of movies with sound was made, it made silent films look bad

You might want to investigate the introduction of sound to what were at the time silent movies. Silent Films would be shown at the movie theater, and were often accompanied by an on-site piano or organ. I believe sound was added to movies during the 1920's and are refered to as "talkies".
