It's a bit more difficult to apply the rule to silents.

Lulu has two exchanges with Countess Anna Geschwitz, although only Lulu's part is reported on the intertitles it's clear there's more going on.
The first exchange is about the way Lulu and Alwa are living on the gambling boat and so not about a man although one is involved.
