Further information on Double Trouble is available from the AFI Catalog.
Double Trouble (apparently the unrestored version) is available on DVD from Critics’ Choice Video.

I picked Double Trouble by going through the trades. It looked interesting and, fortunately, there was a fairly decent print in the Daily Mirror vault, which is quite skimpy on silent films.
For the silent version of the mystery photo, we have a mysterious fellow and Back of the Head Guy.
Update: This is Douglas Fairbanks as Back of the Head Guy. The railroad porter remains unidentified for now.
For Tuesday, we have a mysterious guest. His companion has been cropped out due to insufficient mysteriousness and will appear Friday.
Update for Friday: Adding our mysterious leading man.
Update: This is Don Likes, left, and Douglas Fairbanks.
For “Silent Hm Wednesday,” we have a mysterious fellow.
Update: This is Richard Cummings.
We also have a mystery woman. Her companion has been cropped out due to insufficient mysteriousness and will appear Friday.
Update for Friday: Adding our mysterious leading man.
Update: This is Olga Grey and Douglas Fairbanks.
For “Aha Thursday,” we have a mysterious woman.
Update: This is Gladys Brockwell.
Brain Trust roll call: Mary Mallory (mystery movie, Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s mystery guests and Back of the Head Guy).
For Friday, our mysterious leading man has a mystery companion.
Update: This is Douglas Fairbanks and Margery Wilson.

An excellent guess! But alas, I’m afraid not.

I’m sure I won’t guess the movie by week’s end, but just for grins:
Monday’s image indicates, to me, a late teens-early 20s story with part of the tale set on a cross-country train (sleeper car and a Porter), that’s a comedy (pajama guy has fallen from his berth to the floor).
Will give a movie title a gallant try, but the above is probably as close as I’ll get on anything about this movie.

Oof, hard one this week. DOUBLE TROUBLE (1915) with I believe Don Likes on Monday and Douglas Fairbanks (before he turned leathery) as Back of the Head Guy. Tuesday is Billy Quirk and I absolutely should have known that, having seen him in ALGIE, THE MINER. Wednesday is I believe Richard Cummings, but I was thrown off because I thought it was Jay Dwiggins.
Olga Gray is the medium on Wednesday with the sea anemone on her head. Thursday is Gladys Brockwell and Friday is Margery Wilson.
I watched some of this on YouTube and gosh everyone sure likes to look straight into the camera!
