Low confidence. This number was found loose in a stretch of OCR where two printed columns are interleaved, so its own © date clause could not be read; the link rests on the number and the renewal year alone. Read the page image before relying on it.

This link was made after a language model re-read the damaged OCR (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro); the reading was accepted only because the number and date or title it reported agree with the catalog. Its note: “Renewal number R609261 appears in the chunk but is part of the next record (Adventures of Frank and Jesse James). The record for Train to Alcatraz ends with R609260. The original number L1711 is likely LP1711. The date '24dun48' is 1948-06-24. The renewal claimant is Republic Productions, Inc. (PWH). The renewal date for R609261 is not given in this chunk.”
