(B&W photo frontispiece) Transcription of an event honoring Warner Bros. studio chief Jack L. Warner, who had passed away the previous September. Hal Kanter was the master of ceremonies, and the participants who contributed remarks and anecdotes were: William Schaefer, William Orr, Irving Rapper, William Conrad, Mervyn LeRoy, Julius Epstein, Melville Shavelson, Max Wilk, Pat Buttram, Olivia de Havilland, Dennis Morgan, Debbie Reynolds, and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. In the middle of the evening, there was a musical interlude, in which songwriters Saul Chaplin, Harry Warren, Sammy Fain, and Sammy Cahn all participated, trading banter with Kanter and occasionally breaking into song: Cahn's contribution to the event was a (supposedly) ad-libbed version of "It's Magic," substituting his trademarked special lyrics suited to the occasion.

Paperback. Condition: New. Hal Kanter first came to Hollywood at age 18 to work as the ghost writer for a comic strip. Then he heard an Eddie Cantor radio show and realized that he could write better jokes. Interestingly enough, Cantor's writers agreed with him. Thus was born one of the more interesting and varied careers in Hollywood. Kanter's writing career went from radio shows to screenplays to television series. He worked with Bob Hope, Frank Capra, Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. With an Emmy for writing The George Gobel Show, he was the creator of Julia. Though he enjoyed great success as a producer and director, Kanter always first was a writer. How many scripts has he written? "More than I can lift," he says.
