Texas Jack

This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. Its earliest documented post-WWII telecasts took place in New York City 11/9/48 on WPIX (Channel 11), in Cincinnati, where it was shown in 2 parts Thursday-Friday 13-14 April 1949 on freshly launched WKRC (Channel 11), in Los Angeles 5/29/48 on KTSL (Channel 2), and in San Francisco 12/3/49 on the Kactus Theatre on KPIX (Channel 5).

Remake of Romance of the West (1930)
