Three people are in a kitchen; one seated man speaks while two women stand nearby. The transcript includes dialogue about doughnuts, eating, and helping with dishes, with a mention of 'Kurt Evans' and milking.

“I haven't been so flattered since my doughnuts won first prize at the fair back in Pennsylvania.” 18:40 · “Unless one eats so many of them that they explode, which is likely to happen to you, young man.” 18:53 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.
