A man in a suit speaks to a seated audience in a room with religious decor; a woman and another man listen. The transcript contains a sermon warning against the devil, naming him as Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Mephistopheles.

“For it is written that everyone shall be burned with fire.” 82:21 · “When the devil speaks to you, my children, "Ead him not."” 82:27 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.
