The Woman from Nowhere

The film 'The Woman from Nowhere' was released in 1928 (the closest match to the user's 1922 hint is this Gotham Productions feature directed by Edward Harper). Under the US Copyright Act of 1909, works published between 1928 and 1963 required a renewal filing with the Copyright Office during the 28th year of the first term to maintain protection for a second term. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) reveals no renewal registration for this title or for Gotham Productions in the appropriate window (roughly 1955–1956). According to the 'Film Superlist: Motion Pictures in the U.S. Public Domain (1894-1939)', this film is identified as having entered the public domain due to non-renewal. Consequently, the copyright expired at the end of its first 28-year term in 1956, and the film is now in the public domain in the United States.
