Three men in period attire converse outdoors near a stone-walled structure; one wears a top hat. A horse is visible in a stall. Dialogue mentions being taken to Steve Penitentiary and references a warden and 'bridle sweep.'
“Say, Constable, where are you taking us? The Steve Penitentiary.” 82:06 · “You hear that, Major? We're lucky to stay ten. That's me, Alma Mater. The warden will be so happy to get his ticker back, he'll probably give us the bridle sweep.” 82:09 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.
