A Cure for Pokeritis

A Cure for Pokeritis is an American short silent film starring John Bunny and Flora Finch. It was released on February 23, 1912, by the Vitagraph Company of America. According to the U.S. Copyright Act, all works published or registered before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain in the United States upon the expiration of their maximum 95-year term. Because this film was released in 1912, it became part of the public domain no later than 1987 (75 years after publication under the laws then in effect, or 95 years under the 1976 Act). There is no requirement to search for copyright renewals for works of this age, as they are expired by operation of law regardless of renewal status. The film is widely available on the Internet Archive and in various public domain collections due to its status.
