Two men are in a room with bookshelves and a window; one shows photographs to the other while discussing expenses for a woman's clothing. The conversation includes mention of bills and a sun suit, with one man urging the other to get down to serious business.

“Let me show you something of the snap-trots I took of her with your camera.” 72:13 · “Not bad for an amateur, eh?” 72:16 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.
