But maybe Laurie asked this because the answer is not the logical one; so I will say Ben-Hur based on the book by Lew Wallace who was on the 1865 military commission that tried the Lincoln conspirators.

Roger, I had the same thought about Laurie misdirecting with the "logical answer" and I was going to guess The Artist as the highest-grossing silent movie after giving the name of Dixon's novel in response to Joe's post. But just before posting I reread Laurie's question and realized it said silent-film era.

I honestly expected some answers at first that were Charlie Chaplin oriented.
