Summary
| Description |
English: 1928 poster promoting a traveling tour of Leo the Lion, the mascot of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Description from source: "This promotional poster was used to advertise the traveling appearance of the MGM mascot as presented by Volney Phifer, animal trainer extraordinaire who trained the first lions used by the studio. The poster was most likely displayed when touring 'Jackie,' one of Phifer's most famous lions and considered to be the toughest creature in show biz, as he survived two train wrecks, an earthquake, a boat sinking, an explosion at the studio, and a plane crash that left him stranded in the Arizona wilderness for several days (pilot Martin Jenson left the cat with some snacks while he went in search of help). It's no wonder the lion earned the nickname 'Leo the Lucky.'" |
