There are definitely hints of the Hitchcock Touch here with the blond, the use of binoculars (especially how it shows a blurry shot first then a clear shot through the binoculars), and of course the stairs. I also noticed a bit of Hitchcock humor with the removable curl.
Since Hitchcock often has long sequences of no dialogue and just music, the fact that this is silent did not limit it in the least.
