title card
On screen
PLAGUE! An epidemic of the plague has broken out in Transylvania and in the ports of Varna and Galaz on the Black Sea. Young people are succumbing in droves. All victims exhibit the same strange scars on the neck; their origin remains a mystery. The Danubelles have been closed to all ships suspected of carrying the plague.
Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: ominous; themes: plague, mystery, quarantine; style notes: static title card with high-contrast typography, typical of silent film intertitles

A title card announces a plague epidemic in Transylvania and Black Sea ports, with victims showing neck scars and ports closed to ships. No people, actions, or objects beyond the text are visible in the single frame.

The record

Published 1922, so any US term has expired; no US registration under this title appears in the catalog. The status is a calculation from the date, not a finding about a record. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
