A man in a white coat and cap stands among a crowd while a woman speaks to him; another man in a shirt and tie is shown in a separate interior shot. The transcript describes community efforts to find jobs for unemployed people, mentioning Mr. Schwabacker and old man Delaney.
“Just like you said on the radio, Mr. Doe. Well, sir, about a dozen families got together and gave Gribble a job watering their lawns. Isn't that wonderful?” 64:13 · “And then we found jobs for six other people, and they've all gone off from leave. And my boss, Mr. Schwabacker, made a job in his warehouse for old man Delaney. And he gave you that $5 raise. Yeah, wasn't that swell?” 64:20 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.
