Two men in a cluttered interior discuss a song while one plays an instrument; one man is addressed as Joe and offered money for his knowledge. The setting appears to be a dimly lit room with papers and a brick wall, and the conversation includes corrections to the musical performance.

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.
