A Modern Red Riding Hood

A Modern Red Riding Hood is a two-reel musical comedy short starring Shirley Temple, originally produced by Educational Pictures and distributed by Fox Film Corp. (which became Twentieth Century-Fox in 1935). The film was originally registered for copyright on July 10, 1931, as part of the 'Baby Burlesks' series under the registration number LP2324. For a US film released in 1935 (or its original 1931 production), copyright protection lasted for 28 years, requiring a renewal during the 28th year to extend protection to 75/95 years. A thorough search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) reveals no renewal registration for this title or its original registration number (LP2324). Under the Copyright Act of 1909, failure to renew during the 28th year caused the work to fall into the public domain. This film entered the public domain in 1959 (28 years after its 1931 registration). It is frequently found in public domain DVD collections and on the Internet Archive due to this expiration.
