Having the title of the film at the beginning of the film had never been seen before the very early 1900s. And the first time the actors name was featured on the film was in 1914. This was to help attract an audience of how famous one of the cast members was. 

Are opening title sequence was heavily inspired by Hot Fuzz. During the opening title sequence of hot fuzz, when all the production company logos are shown, they play the sounds of a siren which helps foreshadow what the movie will be about.
