Nurse Marjorie

Nurse Marjorie was released on March 28, 1920, and was registered for copyright by Realart Pictures Corp. on March 15, 1920 (Registration Number LP14876). Under the copyright laws in effect at the time (the Copyright Act of 1909), works were granted an initial 28-year term of protection, which could be extended for a second 28-year term if a renewal was filed with the U.S. Copyright Office during the 28th year of the first term. Because this film was published before January 1, 1928, it has entered the public domain in the United States regardless of whether a renewal was filed. All works published in the U.S. before 1928 have expired copyrights. Furthermore, even if the later 1928 cutoff did not apply, no renewal record exists for this title in the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database or the Catalog of Copyright Entries for the appropriate renewal window (1947–1948). The film exists as a 'lost film' with only fragments or a single incomplete print known to survive in the hands of private collectors or archives, common for early 1920s Realart productions.
