A woman in a patterned dress speaks with a man in a conductor's uniform outdoors; later, a gloved hand places an object on a cushioned seat. The dialogue references railroad work, savings, and trust in a new railroad investment.
“You sure look fancy in outfit with all them stripes and everything. Oh, ho! Well, see, all conductors were them...” 6:26 · “Do you think it's a good idea for me to put my money in this new railroad?” 6:38 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.
