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 R369231 is clearly associated with ROOM SERVICE in the surrounding text. The original date 23Sep38 and LP7754 are read from the line '© 23Sep38; 18346. RKO General, Inc. LP7754. United Artists Television, Inc. (PWH); 22Sep65; R369231.' The '18346' appears to be a stray number or misread; LP7754 is the original registration number. The renewal claimant is United Artists Television, Inc., and the renewal date is 22Sep65.”
