A man in a suit and hat stands beside a poster for 'Doctor Hersh's Tonic' and an eye chart, while another man in a dark coat and hat reacts to reading letters on the chart. The dialogue suggests the man in the suit is testing the other's vision with glasses, and the tonic poster is visible in the background.
“Well, these must be x-ray glasses. I can see every bone in your body.” 21:03 · “Oh, I beg your pardon. That's my last time. There we are. Now, the tent, please read this letter.” 21:09 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.
