This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was first published in the United States without copyright notice prior to 1978, which causes the work to be irrevocably in the Public Domain. See Copyright.

[edit] Public domain explanation

• The image was published as an advertisement in the U.S. in 1938. There is no evidence that copyright notice was originally filed on the image, as then required. For instance, this image evidently shows the entire poster and no copyright notice.
• A search of copyright renewal records for 1965 and 1966 ([1], [2], [3], [4]) reveals no evidence that Republic Pictures renewed copyrights to this poster or any collection of posters or any collection of material that might encompass this poster as would have been required to maintain copyright protection, if any.
• There is no evidence that Paramount Pictures, the corporate heir to Republic Pictures, claims copyright on the image.
