A boy sits on a tree stump near water while another boy is visible in the background; a narrator introduces Donald Peters, a 10-year-old boy whose story is being told in fragments. The setting appears to be outdoors near a stream or riverbank.
“This is the story of one of these 80 boys, Donald Peters, 10 years old. How he lost his way, and how at last he began to find it.” 2:48 · “We learn this story very slowly by bits and pieces.” 3:00 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.
