Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: theatrical and romantic; themes: performance, romantic deception, identity and pretense; style notes: medium close-up, studio lighting, formal attire, microphone branding visible

A woman in a sequined dress stands before a microphone labeled 'GBC' while a voice introduces her as Molly McCorkell and announces the song 'Broadway Cavaliero'. The lyrics describe a charming, deceptive man who pretends to be a Latin lover but is actually from Broadway.

“This is Horace Hite, and the first number on our program is Broadway Cavaliero.” 60:00 · “featuring Miss Molly McCorkell. McCorkell!” 60:04 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.
