Searching for title of a film I can’t remember. Please help 🎥
This silent film begins with a married couple bored with routine. She knits and he has a dog and smokes a pipe which both disapprove of. He starts seeing a model in a dress shop, there’s a scene where they are at her apt. The wife also looks around. They reconcile in the end.
I’ve searched extensively and can’t locate it. I think I saw it on TCM silent Sunday night years ago. Anyone? Thank you!

Silent Movie YouTube Channels?
Do you know of any good YouTube channels that regularly talk about silent films?
There are plenty of silent film clips on YouTube but I am having a hard time finding any video essays or insightful analyses on silent films.

Original "The Man Who Laughs" Film from 1909
I'm looking for any information on "The Man Who Laughs" from 1909. Wikipedia lists it as a lost film made by the Pathé film company and produced by Albert Capellani, but there's no reference link. I can't find it mentioned anywhere else online. Can someone point me in the right direction to find more background on it?

Shoes 1916
I just watched shoes for my first time, and damn that was such a sad story. Never thought a movie as old as that would get me weepy. The emotional depth this film portrays without a single word being spoken is astounding. Definitely in my top 10 of the 1910’s so far.
