A few of the recently repatriated New Zealand silent films are available to be viewed on the Film Preservation Foundation's website. Here's the link:

Out of the six there are four comedy shorts (all transferred too slowly); BY MIGHT OF HIS RIGHT ('15) with Mr & Mrs Sidney Drew; two Christies - WHY HUSBANDS FLIRT ('18) with "Smiling Billy" Mason and Ethel Lynne, and A BASHFUL BIGAMIST ('21) starring Billy Bletcher and Helen Darling, and finally WON IN A CLOSET ('14) directed by and starring Mabel Normand.
Two of these have just been added, and more are promised in the future.
