Getting Mary Married

The film 'Getting Mary Married', directed by Allan Dwan and starring Marion Davies, was released in the United States on April 6, 1919, and registered for copyright on April 7, 1919 (Reg. No. LP13592). Under the US Copyright Act of 1909 and its subsequent extensions, all works published or registered in the United States prior to January 1, 1929, have definitively entered the public domain. This transition occurred regardless of whether the copyright was renewed, as the maximum possible term for works from this era (95 years) has expired. As of January 1, 1995, this film's 75-year term would have ended, and even under the 1998 Extension Act, it would not have been pulled back from the public domain.
