A group of riders on horseback moves along a trail in a mountainous landscape, followed by a cut to darkness. The transcript includes lyrics about riding down the trail until the day ends.
“Down the trail, we press along, till the happy day is through. And we sing our song as we roll along, down the trail, down the trail.” 52:19 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.
