A man in a cowboy hat and a woman in a dark dress stand near a brass band while a woman in a purple dress and large hat gestures. A speaker mentions the mayor is absent due to a horse theft matter and will deliver his speech instead.
“But now that I've seen how much you've grown, I think we'd better exchange them for a couple of bolts of dress goods, huh? Thank you.” 59:14 · “Oh, the mayor was going to be here.” 59:21 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.
