Three men in hats are seen in a wooden structure; one is seated, another stands near a door, and a third is visible in the background. A close-up shows a hand holding a round object. The transcript mentions a character named Smith who is now a 'yard bird' and is in town because he saw a girl.
“Smith joined up, he's now a yard bird. When evening rolls around, he's sure a tarred bird. You'd think he'd hit the hay and rest, but he's in town because he seed a gal with pretty eyeballs and sandals.” 35:35 · “rosy jaws was he a height the door when brains was passed out no sir he signs the finest x but mom's the word i swear he will be faded don't be disco berated hooray hooray for stubby smith the art” 35:46 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.
