Goldwyn Pictures (1921)

From ‘’Ace of hearts’’

[Vadim_Vasilyev]

For the first time, the lion in the screen saver appeared in the 1917 film Polly of the Circus, it was another lion by a nickname (it is a nickname, not a nickname) A silent lion, since he did not growl, but if he did, he would not be heard, because then the cinema was still silent. And in general, it was not even a lion, but a lion cub. From 1921 to 1923, the company used a screen saver with an inanimate lion. In 1923, an adult lion appears on the screen saver in the film Wild Oranges (the name is unknown, perhaps it was Slats). The lion was growling a little on the screen saver, but it couldn't be heard. Only with the help of editing, it was possible to make a version of the logo with a growl, but it did not appear in films and is made "just like that".
