I posted that info that a 16mm print of Tiger Rose is at U. Wisconsin-Madison.
I'm not aware that UCLA has a print.

There are old Kodascope originals of TIGER ROSE in collector hands, and I would
be surprised if someone hasn't done a video on it by now. I've seen it and it
isn't all that great.

TIGER ROSE was made by Warner Bros. in 1923
and 1929. The Kodascope Libraries released the
1923 version- I wasn't aware that the 1929 version
(with Monte Blue and Lupe Velez) survives.

David is correct in saying that the Kodascope is of the 1923 and that's what I
have seen, not the 1929. However the 1929 also does exist, with picture only
at Univ. Wisconsin-Madison, and UCLA has the sound disks, so we can hope that
someone eventually puts these two together.

I think you have this exactly reversed. If UCLA got this as a studio deposit
from Warners, then you are plum out of luck. Likewise, Univ. Wisconsin isn't
going to run you off a copy either since this came to them as part of a studio
package. I believe (but am not positive) that this is still under copyright.
Copyrights run out when they are not renewed. However, most of the films you
are talking about were renewed and are now protected for 95 years after
copyright date. So if TIGER ROSE was renewed (I believe it was), it won't go
into the public domain until 2024.
