A woman in a striped suit and hat stands in a busy newsroom while two men, one in a light suit and another in a coat holding a hat, speak with an older man. The dialogue reveals confusion over names, with one man identifying himself as Bruce Baldwin and another as Mr. Burns.
“Oh, Hilda, you should have told Miss Blanton. Congratulations again, Mr. Baldwin. Oh, no, no. My name is... Oh, excuse me, will you aren't terribly busy? Just leave your card with the boy. What did you say, Mr. Baldwin? My name? My name?” 13:17 · “Mr. Burns. Some other time. I'm busy with Mr. Bruce Baldwin here. I didn't hear what you said. I was going to say. Just mind me. Now look. What is it with you? I'm Bruce Baldwin. Can't you see that?” 13:26 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.
