- On screen
- Hutter had pleaded with Ellen not to touch the book with the faces that had frightened him — But she could not resist its strange attraction.
- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: ominous; themes: forbidden knowledge, irresistible temptation; style notes: static title card with centered serif text on a textured background, typical of silent film intertitles
The beat displays on-screen text describing Hutter's plea to Ellen not to touch a frightening book, which she cannot resist. No people, objects, or events are visible in the 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.
