Two men in military-style uniforms are indoors, one holding a hat and speaking to the other. One man mentions walking to Hootenhower and turning onto a wagon road.

“Hey sure my tacky breeches are in line soldier. They sure are.” 45:17 · “Say, how are you gonna get to Hootenhower? I'm a walking down till I come to the end of the road. I'm a turning into a wagon road and I'm just keeping walking till it gets up. Are you sure you're going?” 45:21 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.
