Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal, social; themes: social gathering, formal dining; style notes: medium shot, static framing, high-contrast black-and-white lighting typical of early sound films

A woman in a patterned dress gestures with her right arm raised while seated at a table in a crowded dining room. Other diners are visible in the background, and the setting appears to be a formal restaurant or banquet hall.

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.
