A group of people, including a woman on horseback and two men, are outdoors near trees. One man instructs another to stretch a rope across the road, and they attempt to make a horse jump over it, but the horse runs off.

“Pick up that rope, Blum, and stretch it straight across the road.” 30:04 · “Well, no wonder he balks, Margie. He's got to jump a rope to get started. Well, let's try him.” 30:09 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.
