A man in a hat and glasses is shown indoors, then two men stand beside a poster for 'Doctor Hers Tonic' with a price of 10 cents. The transcript includes dialogue about crimping something and reading large letters, suggesting they are adjusting or inspecting an object.

“Douglas, what do we have, an earthquake?” 20:37 · “Let me see those. Oh, yes, I see. It needs a little crimp it.” 20:41 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.
