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: “OCR misreads: 'a phetoplay in lb' = 'a photoplay in 1 reel'; 'LLs9' = 'LP59' (original number); '(EWH)' likely '(PWH)' for proprietor of copyright. Title 'SCREWBALL SQUIRREL' is clear.”
