Salomy Jane
1914 · California Motion Picture Corporation · Dir. William Nigh
When beautiful Salomy Jane resists the romantic advances of a young ruffian, she is rescued by Jack Dart, who has his own additional reasons for tangling with the man. Jack fights the ruffian and kills him. He escapes with the law on his trail, for it is (wrongly) presumed that he is also the man who held up the stagecoach. Salomy Jane comes to his rescue when he is captured and about to be lynched.

Why this status applies
The film 'Salomy Jane' was released in 1914. Under current United States copyright law, all works published before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain due to the expiration of their maximum copyright term (95 years from publication).
This specific production is a notable early feature film starring Beatriz Michelena. Because its release year is 1914, it passed the 95-year threshold in 2010. No renewal or registration research is required for this era, as the public domain status for pre-1928 works is absolute regardless of renewal status or notice.
