Here's some frames/intertitles from Hitchcock's first fully fledged movies moving on from a title designer and assistant director. The themes in the movie are quite sexual and romantic, he hadn't developed the themes of suspense and mystery he had become renowned for. I think this first started with The lodger, a couple of years later in 1927. It's seen as the first 'Hitchcockian' film.
As it's a silent movie, the speech is played out by using sort of title cards. I think it's a really interesting effect and one I'm going to experiment with when I start drawing out the basic outline for the book.
