Mary and Gretel [Part 2]

The film 'Mary and Gretel [Part 2]' is a US-produced short film released in 1916. Under current US copyright law, all works published or registered before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain due to the expiration of their maximum 95-year copyright term. This specific title is part of a series of dramatic shorts produced by the Biograph Company. As a 1916 release, its copyright expired no later than 1991 (75 years after publication under the 1976 Act) and remained in the public domain during the 1998 extension (CTEA). There are no requirements for renewal searches as the age of the work renders it definitively public domain regardless of previous registration status.
