Two men are seated at a table in a dimly lit interior, discussing a treasure and a character named Captain Jones. One man, wearing glasses and a dark suit, confronts the other, who wears a light-colored hat and smokes a pipe, about the treasure and a person named Joblin.
“What's this yarn about Captain Jones and his treasure? Treasure? I don't know anything about any treasure. Don't lie to me, Joblin.” 17:34 · “Mamie he was over here talking to you. The fool, laughing at all over Tom. How much has he got? Did he, did he say? You would never believe it, Johnson.” 17:44 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.
