Jack Milton Warner (March 27, 1916 – April 1, 1995) was an American film producer and son of legendary Hollywood movie mogul Jack L. Warner. Jack M. Warner was born on March 27, 1916, the only child of Irma C. (née Salomon) and Jack L. Warner (1892-1978). His father co-founded the film studio Warner Bros. with his brothers Harry Warner (1881–1958), Albert Warner (1884–1967), and Sam Warner (1887–1927). According to the federal census of 1930, Jack—then 14 years old—lived with his mother and father in "Beverly Hills City", California, along with five live-in servants, who performed the daily duties of butler, housekeeper, cook, "Ladies Maid", and chauffeur. His family was Jewish. (Wikipedia)

Movie5.6DocumentaryAs part of a publicity campaign for the film 42nd Street (1933), Warner Bros. Pictures, with the assistance of the General Electric Corporation, assembled a 7-car gold- and silver-plated train they called "The 42nd. Street Special". With numerous Warner Bros. contract stars as passengers, the train made a tour across the USA. It was scheduled to make stops in more than 100 cities, ending in Washington, D.C. for the March 1933 inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. This short film records the send-off for this trip from Los Angeles' Santa Fe Station. Using a microphone set up on the rear platform of the last car, several people addressed the crowd attending the event. Those making remarks include performers, studio executives, and the mayor of Los Angeles.
