A man in a top hat speaks to another man seated in a room with wallpaper and a staircase; the seated man is addressed as Mr. Deming and is handed his hat. The dialogue suggests a secret about speculating that should not be mentioned to Mrs. Baird.
“you will be kind enough not to mention my speculating” 27:32 · “To Mrs. Baird.” 27:37 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.
