This is the first time I see this clip, and I find aspects Hitchcock presents in his films, makes the faces tell us about the characters, when they look at the dancers. It shows us closed shots of actions to give it relevance.
I agree, I think that Hitchcock begins to show us what he wants to communicate, later he will improve it, but of course we appreciate what we will see of this great director.
It's not a limitation, the faces and actions communicate what really happens on the scene, the titles only help us to understand better, just as the audio could do, but Hitchcock shows the talent so that it is not necessary.
