A man in a bowler hat kneels beside a broken bicycle on a sidewalk while a boy in striped shirt stands nearby. A woman walks past in the background. The dialogue reveals the man missed a 4 o'clock appointment and is being urged to catch a bus, while the boy is given an old fiddle to play with.
“What did you say was wrong with this?” 56:46 · “All right, doggies, wait a minute. I did, too. Four o'clock, yes, sir. Well, you're late now, and I hate to see you miss it. You can get your bus right on the corner.” 56:54 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. 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 our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
