What I do is create a file of those pics that I want to see in the Screen Saver, then add it to the optional image sources for the Screen Saver in the System Preferences for  Desktop & Screen Saver.   Then select that folder and Screen Saver should do what you want.  Unfortunately there is no way (that I've found) to set the display interval.          Of course you'd have to add the "title" manually to the image but then I always resize such images to be the pixel size of the display.  This means they are 'copies' of the original, and that copy could have the title embedded too.
