Tilly and the Fire Engines

Under the current US copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 304), all works published or registered before January 1, 1929, have entered the public domain in the United States. This applies regardless of the work's country of origin or its renewal status, as the maximum possible term for works of this era was 95 years from publication, all of which have now expired. 'Tilly and the Fire Engines' was a British short comedy film directed by Lewin Fitzhamon, part of the popular 'Tilly Girl' series starring Chrissie White and Alma Taylor. It was released in the United Kingdom in August 1911. Because the original release date (1911) precedes the 1929 cutoff by eighteen years, the film is definitively in the public domain in the United States.
