For me, lion at the beginning of the old MGM movies always meant quality. This iconic lion made its first appearance on this date in 1928. It was their first talkie for that studio, but this was not the first lion. This was Jackie, the second in a long line of lions. The first of the lions was Stats, and he roared silently.
