Chaplin made a bunch of silents long after the talkies started..was it one of his?
The Rail Rodder, with Buster Keaton, mid 1960's, I think. National Film Board of Canada.
His silents during the talkies era doesn't qualify as he intentionally made them silent.
The last silent film ever produced in Hollywood before the talkies, was 1935's "Legong: Dance of the Virgins," released by Paramount International, and originally shown only outside the US due to concerns about female nudity in the film. The movie was filmed in Bali, Indonesia.

Why did Nobel set up the Nobel Peace Prize?
Answer :
To ease his conscience.
In 1888 Alfred's brother Ludvig died while visiting Cannes and a French newspaper erroneously published Alfred's obituary. It condemned him for his invention of dynamite and is said to have brought about his decision to leave a better legacy after his death. The obituary stated Le marchand de la mort est mort ("The merchant of death is dead") and went on to say, "Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday." Alfred was disappointed with what he read and concerned with how he would be remembered. On 27 November 1895, at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris, Nobel signed his last will and testament and set aside the bulk of his estate to establish the Nobel Prizes, to be awarded annually without distinction of nationality. He died of a stroke on 10 December 1896 at Sanremo, Italy. After taxes and bequests to individuals, Nobel's will gave 31,225,000 Swedish kronor (equivalent to about 1.8 billion kronor or 250 million US dollars in 2008) to fund the prizes.
