Historical NoteReturn to Top

Jack Glenn (1904-1981), a journalist and film producer, graduated from Rice University in 1925 and worked as a reporter for the Galveston (Texas) "Daily Reporter" from 1925-1927. In 1927, he was a reporter for the New York "Herald-Tribune" in Paris where he met Louis de Rochemont, producer of the "March of Time" newsreels. Glenn worked for de Rochemont as senior director for the "March of Time" series from 1927-1953, and later directed promotional films and documentaries for Chrysler Corporation, General Electric, YMCA, and McGraw-Hill with his own movie production company, Jack Glenn, Inc. Glenn also directed the motion picture film "The House of the Seven Gables" (1973), which was produced by Freya Films. Glenn was also president the Screen Directors Guild from 1948-1958, and public relations director of the Screen Directors International Guild.
