A man in a suit speaks to a boy named Cedric at a crowded fairground, offering him money to see a show before post time. The fair features a Ferris wheel and tents, with people gathered around a ticket booth.
“Step right this way, folks, and solve the secret of that crystal maze. Hello, Cedric, my boy. Why don't you go in and see the show? I ain't got no money. Well, I think that could be remedied. Here you are, my son.” 60:00 · “Do you reckon I'll have time? Why, of course, my boy. It's an hour yet before post time. What's it like, Squire? It's all right, Cedric.” 60:20 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.
