JACK WARNER
Charcoal drawing on cardstock of an artist's portrait of Warner, inscribed to his friend and fellow Warner Bros. executive "Doc" Salomon
Inscribed Original Art Signed: "To the merry/'Doc' - you're good/for what ails/you -/from/Jack/July 28th/1926. Sepia, 9.25 x 13. Vintage cardstock portrait signed and dated 1923 by Weisberg. Brothers Harry, Sam, Albert and JACK L. WARNER (1892-1978), who co-founded Warner Bros. in 1923, launched the sound era four years later with The Jazz Singer. Jack was head of production at Warner Bros. from 1923-1967, when he sold the studio to Seven Arts. Although he became famous for clashing with producers, writers and stars (including Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney), the studio produced a succession of movie classics during his tenure. Warner was also one of the 36 founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. A. M. "Doc" Salomon, a friend of studio mogul Jack Warner who rose to head the London branch of Warner Bros. studios, compiled an extensive collection of celebrity autographs during his nearly 30 years with the studio. A V-1 rocket demolished his London studio in July 1944 and killed Salomon, but his photo collection miraculously survived. Corners lightly creased. Heavy mounting residue on verso. Lightly smeared at "k" in Jack. Fine condition.
