Two characters in period rural attire converse outdoors; one mentions stirring something with a wooden leg made of koko-bola wood. The dialogue suggests a humorous or absurd context involving spirits and soap.
“It be spirits you should be having. Ain't nothing at all but hog fat and lie. What you done you ain't been doing afore? I was stirring it with your great, great grandpappy's wooden leg. You know what?” 22:07 · “Well, made of koko-bola wood.” 22:17 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.
