A group of young men gather around one who claims to have won three dollars in a newspaper photo contest; they examine a newspaper clipping showing a photo of a boy named Jack. The scene takes place outdoors near a wooden structure with hay bales visible.
“Hey fellas, get a load of this, will ya? What do you got, kid? I just won three bucks.” 55:34 · “Here's the three bucks, if you don't believe me. Well, come on, show us the picture. Where is it?” 55:42 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.
