Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal, anticipatory; themes: social announcement, family event, romantic speculation; style notes: black-and-white, medium close-ups and group shots, studio lighting with soft shadows, period costume design

A group of formally dressed people are seated at a table in a dimly lit room with curtains, reacting to an announcement. One woman speaks about a weekend event at Westbury, and another woman appears surprised.

“Attention, please.” 38:10 · “Stand by for a station announcement. I'm giving a big weekend, 40.” 38:16 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.
