English: Scan via Heritage Auctions. Cropped from the original image: first to remove Heritage Auctions watermark at bottom, then to remove excess space at top with the message "Now Playing Publix–Capitol" (see upload history).

English: "Copyright 1932 by Paramount Publix Corp."

English: The poster had a valid copyright notice, as seen on the bottom left corner. However, the copyright for the artwork was not renewed, as was required by American copyright law to extend/maintain protection for works published 1963 or earlier. In order to maintain copyright protection, the poster would have had to be renewed 28 years after publication, in either 1959 or 1960 (see the sections for "Artwork: Original registrations and renewals" and refer to the links to search the copyright catalogs for those years). Because it was not renewed, copyright lapsed at that time. Note that the poster art is a distinct work from the film it represents and had to be renewed separately.
