From http://www.pdinfo.com/copyrt.htm

If this collection was registered with the US Copyright Office - and you have to assume it was - then the copyright lasts 95 years from the date copyright was secured.

Therefore:

"If any music or lyrics are still under copyright protection

  • you CANNOT reproduce the music or lyrics
  • you CANNOT distribute the music or lyrics either for free, for no profit, or for profit
  • you CANNOT perform the music or lyrics in public
  • you CANNOT play a recording of the music or lyrics in public--even if you own the CD
  • you CANNOT make a derivative work or arrangement for public use in any form"
