I don't know it they are called commentary cards or what they are called. But almost every Blackhawk film will contain a minute and a half of some brief description at the front of each film. Typical things described in these comentaries would be date of release or anything that Blackhawk felt like sharing regarding that particular film. They were just basically intertitles at the front of their films that could last as long as two minutes in some cases, depending on what Blackhawk had to say about the title in question. As an example with Haunted Spooks, Blackhawk mentioned how Lloyd had part of his hand blown off during the making of that film, ect, ect.
I suppose for some people those commentaries might be interesting but for myself I have always just cut them from the front of the print and tossed them out since they are not part of the original film anyway. For me it just slows things down when showing films because there is too much to read for an audience because they are looking for fun, not a history lesson. After those Blackhawk commentaries finished then the actual film would start.
