A man in overalls and a hat stands near a tree with a sign, then is shown with a woman in a wooded area; the final frame shows a rocky, wooded landscape. The transcript mentions Snuffy, revenues, and shadow hunting.
“Recollect the time he put a harness nest in Cooper's car, there was a sting in him and he was as speckled as a guinea pig. Them revenues are just a pining to get their hands on Snuffy.” 3:31 · “You ain't needn't be afraid.” 3:42 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.
