Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: somber; themes: confinement, authority; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white, medium close-ups, static framing

A man in a hat is seen behind bars in two shots, while another man in a hat sits at a desk in a third shot. The transcript contains fragmented, possibly mis-transcribed lines that do not clearly describe the visuals.

“Where the little doggies I just yell along, and the dog-o-lo-lo-the prairies.” 20:35 · “I say that my favorite part, the cross of the world.” 20:46 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.
