Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: social and lively, with a hint of departure; themes: social gathering, departure, music and dance; style notes: black-and-white, medium shots, studio lighting, formal attire suggests 1930s setting

A band plays in a room while people dance; one person says they are going to leave. The setting appears to be an indoor social gathering with musicians and dancers visible.

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.
