This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1923 and 1963, and its copyright was not renewed.

[edit] Public domain explanation

The image was created to be freely distributed for the express purpose of promoting the commercial motion picture whose action it depicts. There is no evidence that copyright notice was originally filed on the image, as then required.
A search of copyright renewal records for 1955 and 1956 ([1], [2], [3], [4]) reveals no evidence that the corporate heir to the corporate author of the work—Warner Bros.–First National—renewed copyrights to this photograph or any collection of photographs or any collection of material that might encompass this photograph as would have been required to maintain copyright protection, if any.
There is no evidence that Warner Bros. or its parent company, Time Warner, claims copyright on the image.
