If the copyrights were renewed, I presume that the Pickford Foundation would control them today, unless Mary and/or Buddy re-assigned the rights to Ralph Cohn or someone else.
The
vault list at the Pickford Foundation's website lists
Little Iodine among their holdings. UCLA's database shows that they have a nitrate print of
Susie Steps Out, although portions have been removed because of decomposition. The AFI catalogue lists both
The Adventures of Don Coyote and
Stork Bites Man as "print viewed" so they must exist somewhere.

With the exception of LITTLE IODINE, all of the Comet productions were seen on Milwaukee TV (an independent UHF station) in the 1960s. Presumably 16mm prints still exist.

I believe that these Comet Productions ended up with
National Telefilm Associates, which means that the films
are owned by Paramount.
One of the better titles is SLEEP MY LOVE; directed by
Douglas Sirk. With Claudette Colbert, Robert Cummings,
Don Ameche.
