- Interpretation

A man in a suit and hat reacts to a fire alarm in what appears to be a jail or police station; he is then seen outside with another man in a firefighter's helmet, preparing to leave. The transcript reveals dialogue about someone arriving, a fire, and a request to pick up others on the way to the fire ground.
“Who's that coming up, Al Conner? Where? Somebody after Abner, I'll be on you. No, I guess maybe it's my woman. Oh.” 65:58 · “There's the fire alarm. I gotta get going. I don't see nobody. Well, wait a minute, Lord. I can't go with you. I've got to stay here in jail. I'm a desperate radio.” 66:04 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.
