Two men in formal evening wear converse in a crowded, candlelit room; one identifies himself as the other's former pupil in phonetics. The setting appears to be a high-society gathering, with background guests and ornate decor.
“You remember me?” 52:23 · “No, I don't. Where have we met? But I'm your pupil, your first pupil, your best and greatest pupil. I've made your name famous throughout Europe. You teach me phonetics. You cannot forget me. I am a clariceet carpatti.” 52:25 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.
