Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: lighthearted; themes: games, prizes, interaction; style notes: medium close-ups, studio lighting, static camera, period costume

A man in a suit and hat stands at a counter with dolls displayed behind him, interacting with another man in a vest and hat. The transcript indicates a game where winning three times in a row earns a large doll, and the man in the suit appears to win.

“How you are?” 7:52 · “If you win three times in a row, why, give you that big doll there and it changed for the two small ones.” 7:57 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.
