Why this status applies
Under the current copyright laws of the United States, all works published or registered before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain. 'Eyes of Youth,' starring Clara Kimball Young and directed by Albert Parker, was released in late 1919.
Because the film was released well before the 1928 cutoff, its copyright has expired regardless of whether it was ever renewed or maintained. The film's protection period (originally 28 years plus a 28-year renewal, later extended by various acts) has concluded, and it is now legally free for use and distribution within the United States.
