A man in a vest is confronted by a man and a woman in a room; the woman demands the man shoot the vest-wearing man, who then throws his hat in the air. The transcript reveals the conflict centers on an insult about pre-engagement kissing.
“Shoot him. Well, what is he admitting to? Why, he called me a... I won't even repeat the word.” 88:53 · “I said that any girl who would permit a man to kiss her before they're formally engaged is a trollop.” 89:06 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.
