Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense or urgent; themes: public gathering, departure, authority or control; style notes: medium shot, high contrast lighting, static camera, crowd framing suggests public event

A crowd watches from behind a barrier with text reading 'EMENTS. DEPART FROM OLYMPIA'. One man in a dark coat and hat gestures while speaking to another man in a light coat holding a long object. The scene is outdoors with many onlookers.

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.
