A group of people in a betting parlor watch a horse race on a screen; one man celebrates winning a bet and announces he is leaving to get married. The race is described in the transcript as a close finish won by Fair Helen.
“Fair Helen, second by two lengths. Tony Boy leads by a head. Come on, come on, come on. Oh. Pardon me. Oh, please, lady, let me dress him, please. Oh.” 34:45 · “Fair Helen wins by a nose. I win!” 35:15 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.
