A group of people, including a man in a hat and a young man in a suit, are gathered in a stone-walled room. A reporter asks for details about a fight involving a boy named Jack and a man named Daniel Burdoe, intending to write a story for city papers.
“They were punching up and terrible. First Dan was on top, then Jack. Now, wait a minute, wait a minute. Let me get this straight. The boy Jack called his father a thief, and the little viper went after him. Said he'd kill him for it.” 68:43 · “And he made it too. Yeah, and then this Daniel, uh... How do you spell that last name again, please?” 68:53 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.
