Low confidence: the original date in this record is unreadable, so the link rests on the number and the renewal year.

Registration MP10890 (part 84: 86, 87) Uncertain

Term began: 1940-06-27
Claimant: Nos, 88-92
Class: MP — published motion picture other than a photoplay (numbering series begun Sept. 1928)
Finding: registration number MP10890 also appears on another catalog entry with a different title; one of the two is misprinted or misread

The catalog entry has a problem (missing date, or a number that does not fit its year), so the renewal check cannot be relied on.

Registration MP10891 (part 84: 86, 87) Uncertain

Term began: 1940-06-27
Claimant: Nos, 88-92
Class: MP — published motion picture other than a photoplay (numbering series begun Sept. 1928)
Finding: registration number MP10891 also appears on another catalog entry with a different title; one of the two is misprinted or misread

The catalog entry has a problem (missing date, or a number that does not fit its year), so the renewal check cannot be relied on.

Registration MP10892 (part 84: 86, 87) No renewal found

Term began: 1940-06-27
Claimant: Nos, 88-92
Class: MP — published motion picture other than a photoplay (numbering series begun Sept. 1928)
Finding: no renewal entry found for 1967-1969 in the CCE motion-picture renewal sections
In the public domain since: 1 January 1969 (end of the 28th year, no renewal)

A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and no matching renewal was found. A work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year.

A renewal had to be filed in the 28th year and would be listed in the 1967 or 1968 volume; volumes searched: 1967, 1968, 1969.

The renewal sections are OCR text of printed volumes; a damaged record can hide a renewal. Before relying on this, search the linked volumes yourself for the title and for number MP10892.
