A cartoon character in a tuxedo and top hat addresses a crowd from a podium with banners, promising free cigars and bigger elephants. A small dog runs past the podium as the character gestures dramatically.
“ice cream for all the kiddies. All right, men, step right over here and get your free cigars. And what we need is bigger elephants in all our zoos. Oh, my gosh.” 0:32 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.
