When the West Was Young

Under US copyright law, all works published before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain regardless of renewal status. 'When the West Was Young' is a Western short directed by Thomas H. Ince and starring William Edeson, released on November 12, 1914. The film was produced by Kay-Bee Pictures (part of the New York Motion Picture Corporation). Because it was released in 1914, its maximum copyright term of 75 years (under the 1976 Act) or the 95-year term for works of that era has long since expired. All films from 1914 entered the public domain in the United States no later than 1990. Note: generated without live web grounding (the grounded research engine was unavailable).
