Entitled: "Jackie's roar being recorded for use at the beginning of MGM talking movies. A sound stage was built around his cage to make the recording." Jackie, born in 1915 and trained by Mel Koontz, was the second lion used for the MGM logo. He was the first MGM lion to roar, which was first heard via a gramophone record during MGM's first sound production, White Shadows in the South Seas (1928). Jackie growled softly; this was followed by a louder roar, a brief pause, and then a final growl, before he looked off to the right of the screen. Jackie appeared on all black-and-white MGM films from 1928-56. Jackie is also known for surviving several accidents (including two train wrecks, an earthquake, and an explosion in the studio), giving him the nickname "Leo the Lucky". No photographer credited, 1928.
