30 (Not in Acknowledgements) They Just Won't Talk! A Play in One Act by Mary Katherine Reely Google Books finds a 1927 reprint, undated (but obviously post 1918) seems that was a reprint taken from a work made earlier in that same year (January, 1927see the Details section).

Can't say that is the first publication date for sure but I believe that's a moot point anyway given the "fact" no renewal was recorded for this particular play (& I looked for one too) so, IMHO, its fair to say the contribution is PD by no-renewal. -- GOIII.

Needs reworking for text uniformity, etc.[edit]

Pages for each work[edit]

Given that this collection contains texts of differing copyright status, and each text could use its description (which would incorporate much of the information contained in the table above), I think the content should be placed on separate pages for each work.
