Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: formal, public gathering; themes: public ceremony, formal attire, crowd; style notes: medium shot, black and white, studio lighting on foreground figures, shallow depth of field

Two men in formal attire stand side by side in a crowded outdoor setting; one adjusts his hat while the other holds a cane. The background shows a group of people, some wearing caps, under an arched structure.

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.
