Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: businesslike, slightly rushed; themes: media coverage, sports, directed photography; style notes: medium shots, outdoor lighting, static camera, group framing

A man in a suit directs a group of athletes on a field, asking one if he is Joe and instructing him to stand still for photos. Another man in a bow tie approaches the suited man for a private word, but is told to wait while a Kodak camera is set up.

“What is your name? Skip it, son, skip it. I'm from the Pan-American News Reader Company. I want to get a couple of shots of Joe Sr. Are you Joe?” 24:42 · “You just stand there. Don't do anything.” 24:55 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.
