The Tiniest of Stars

The film 'The Tiniest of Stars' was a Lubin Manufacturing Company production released in the United States on June 23, 1913. It is a silent short film featuring players like Justina Huff and Arthur V. Johnson. According to the framework for U.S. copyright law, all works published or registered in the United States prior to January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain. This occurs due to the expiration of the maximum possible copyright term (95 years for corporate works under the 1909 Act, later extended by the 1976 Act and the 1998 Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act). As this film was published in 1913, its copyright protection expired no later than 1988 (assuming a valid registration and renewal were filed). Under current law, it is definitively in the public domain.
