Jack in "That's Entertainment"

No Maria, Jack has not been forgotten. Very late last night the 26th or very early the 27th I was channel surfing and saw Jack on TCM in the movie "That's Entertainment" (PT II, I think). I hadn't realized before he was in this movie. The segment he was in seemed to be an old newsreel and he was VERY young in it. The clip looked to be from about 1933. I wasn't sure if it was really him at first, but it was. He was an MC introducing a pair of songwriters (I forget whom), and then there was a Busby Berkely type production number of the song that the composers had written. Jack had a fair amount of time on screen as the MC. Does anybody else remember seeing Jack in this movie? Mike

That's from the Songwriters' Revue (1930).

Well! Even earlier than I thought, in 1930 just after the big "Crash." But you'd never know it from all the razzle-dazzle going on in the revue! Mike
