Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and urgent; themes: suspicion, confrontation, aftermath of attack; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white lighting, silhouetted figures against fire, medium close-ups for dialogue

Two men stand near a burning structure at night; one speaks about horses and a coach being unharmed and suspects Drake or his men. The second frame shows three men in conversation, one of whom is told he got one of the attackers.

“Dave, what's harm done? The horses are okay. Well, the coach is hardly scorched. Do you suppose Drake or his men pulled this cheap trick? I'm sure of it.” 41:00 · “Well, whoever it was, you got one of them anyhow.” 41:12 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.
