"Jack L. Warner\nThe Beverly Hills Estate of the Archetypal Hollywood Mogul\nThe front drive of Jack L. Warner's Beverly Hills estate.\n\n\"I am what I am, and I will probably never change,\" wrote Jack Warner, head of the Warner Bros. Studio for over 40 years and the 1958 recipient of the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. On his nine-acre estate, which he built from 1926 to 1937, was a Neoclassical mansion designed by architect Roland E. Coate with interiors by William Haines and grounds by Florence Yoch.\nThe main living room.\n\nAdjoining the sunroom and off the entrance hall was the main living room, which contained a fraction of the Warners' antiques, such as George III mahogany armchairs, a George III-style library table and cut-glass chandelier and an early George III lady's writing desk, right. Under the arched doorways are two sets of 18th-century Chinese painted wallpaper panels.\nWarner's screening room.\n\nThe screening room had several concealed devices, including projectors hidden behind a panel that was opened by moving the Buddha's head. The screen was raised with the help of a water pump, and the front sofa was rotated to provide viewing.\nThe bar at Warner's estate.\n\nNext to the screening room was the bar, which was ornamented by two monumental 1760 Mexican candlesticks ad a circa 1820 Mexican chandelier. Behind the bar are Tang Dynasty pottery and figures; in the center is a statue of Guanyin, of whom Ann Warner was a devotee. Her interest in Buddhism was reflected in Guanyin figures throughout the house.\nThe Warner estate swimming pool.\n\nIn addition to a nine-hole pitch-and-putt golf course, a tennis court, a nursery and three hothouses, and a motor court complete with its own service garage and gas pumps, the estate had a large swimming pool, around which the frequent Sunday afternoon guests would lounge.\nThe dining room.\n\nIn the dining room, decorated with early-19th-century wallpaper panels, a table is surrounded by 14 of the Warners' 48 Regency-style armchairs, George III mahogany urns and pedestals, right, and a Carrara-marble-and-lapis-lazuli mantelpiece, left."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
