A courtroom scene unfolds where a defendant pleads for mercy after admitting to stealing, and a judge imposes a three-month sentence to prevent further theft. The frames show a man and a woman in formal attire seated in a dimly lit, crowded room, likely the courtroom gallery.
“After all, he may have just as important a reason for keeping his property. Yes, Your Honor.” 19:33 · “The prisoner will not forget his duty to society again. I swear I'll never steal again.” 20:09 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.
