@contactmemorylane: "Quick question on the Fox Tom Mix silents.
"Great K&A Train Robbery" from 1926 is supposedlly Public Domain...
What about the other Fox features after 1922?
Dick Turpin, The Last Trail, Riders of the Purple Sage?

They're all still copyrighted including GREAT K & A.  IF you really need 
them I can give you copyright and renewal dates and numbers

Hi Joe,
I sort of had a feeling they were, but Great K&A...and Riders of the
Purple Sage have been around on video for years (from smaller outfits)
which had me thinking maybe they had expired.
I know these two titles were also available through Blackhawk decades
ago, so I guess they had a deal going with Fox at the time.
Thanks for the info,
John"

I think you are correct that their was some deal with the titles that 
Blackhawk put out.  I'm thinking these were part of the Killiam collection. 
Maybe one of the long time film collectors can clear things up regarding 
that.
You are also correct that many of the smaller video outfits have put out Mix 
titles over the years.  They have learned that Fox just doesn't seem to care 
about their silent film library and doesn't really care if the titles are 
bootlegged.
Fox actually used to refer people to Grapevine Video for their VHS bootleg 
of SUNRISE when they got inquiries about the film some years back because 
they had no interest in putting it out themselves.
