Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: farewell; themes: broadcast closure, Western/country music performance; style notes: studio lighting, medium and group shots, costumes suggest a Western or country music theme

A group of people, including a man identified as Roy Rogers, are gathered in a studio setting with musical instruments and microphones. The transcript indicates the end of a broadcast, with Roy Rogers delivering a farewell message.

“Must it be in this eternity, O Lord, have mercy.” 28:10 · “Well, Polkhead counter brings to a close, our little get-together for this evening.” 28:30 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.
