A man in a suit conducts a woman singing while another man plays piano; the singer reacts with surprise and the pianist grimaces. The transcript includes musical direction and exclamations during the performance.
“No, no. You are too portissimo. Too allegro, too quantro. Oh, is that bad? It ain't good. You're supposed to be singing about the voices of spring, not the eruption of a volcano. Give with the throat, not with the fellows. Oh, oh, Professor. Oh, no.” 1:23 · “You want it more like a bird! That's it.” 1:36 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.
