A group of men on horseback and a chuck wagon are gathered outdoors; one man speaks about turning a claim into a mine and sends others ahead to get supper. The final frame is black.
“What happened? Well, fellas, from now on, Carol's claim won't be just a hole in the ground, it'll be a mine.” 22:29 · “Say, Bob, you and the boys better take the chuck wagon and go on ahead and get Supper Star. Right.” 22:34 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.
