Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: hurried and domestic; themes: preparation for travel, domestic interaction, female companionship; style notes: medium shots, static camera, high-contrast lighting typical of early sound films, staged for dialogue

Two women are in a room, one packing a suitcase while the other assists and speaks to her. The dialogue suggests they are preparing for a trip and discussing telling someone named Joan about it.

“I got the one that's going here. Get one of this yourself.” 69:34 · “Oh, honey.” 69:37 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.
