A Kiss for Cinderella

The film 'A Kiss for Cinderella', directed by Herbert Brenon and starring Betty Bronson, was released in late 1925 (premiere December 26, 1925). Under the United States Copyright Act of 1976 and the subsequent Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, all works published in the United States prior to January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain regardless of whether their copyright was renewed. Since this film was published and registered (LP22152) in 1925, its maximum copyright protection of 95 years expired on December 31, 2020. As of January 1, 2021, the film is legally in the public domain in the United States. Even if the copyright had been properly renewed (which it was, by Emka, Ltd. in 1953, R113110), the 95-year term is an absolute limit for works from this era.
