A man and a woman stand indoors; the woman speaks about a past rescue by Captain Bill. The man listens, then looks down at a paper while holding a pipe.
“Poor Bill. He's flat broke.” 22:43 · “Oh, I'm sorry. You know he's been a hero to me ever since I first saw him. What, you met Bill before? Remember when the steamer McCullough went ashore eight years ago? Of course. I've always kept that clipping. I was on that steamer with my mother and father. Captain Bill's little schooner was the first to reach us. And he stood by in that terrible storm until everyone was saved. Oh, he was wonderful.” 22:47 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.
