MGM Lions #3

When “talking pictures” arrived in the late 1920s, a new logo was filmed using a lion named Jackie who looked identical to Slats. Not only was Jackie photographed, but his growls were recorded was well. (This appears to be a staged publicity photo rather than one taken during the actual filming.) Jackie’s trainer was Mel Koontz.
