Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: energetic and chaotic; themes: sports event, crowd spectacle, western boxing; style notes: wide shot capturing crowd and ring, high-contrast lighting typical of 1930s film, static camera

A crowd watches a boxing match advertised as the 'Wildman Heavyweight Championship of the West' in a crowded hall. A voice shouts 'Get it, comrades!' and 'Lieutenant Beans!' while another announces '205 pounds!' during the event.

“Get it, comrades!” 25:00 · “Lieutenant Beans!” 25:02 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.
