Don't know if these got listed or not yet, but the MGM MOD's of A THOUSAND CLOWNS and RETURN FROM THE ASHES both have trailers.

NORTHWEST PASSAGE (Warner Archive) has a trailer and a promotional featurette.

No trailer on TAXI.

I agree I have seen or have trailers on other media that has not got on DVD for reasons unknown to me. Many British DVDs of older films have no trailer added but surely they must have some survive. I know that some trailers get rehashed for a reissue and often this is included on the new trailer as a note or even the film(like some Republic films) might say Reprint. I have never found an answer but when the WB/First National films were sold to TV those were sold to the same network in Australia and probably stored at Bonded Services who had a fire along the way. A rumor went around for years that the only copy of Bing Crosby's MGM film, Goin' Hollywood 1933) was destroyed in that fire. Not true, of course. Anyway the network showed trailers to these films but I can't say it as all of them but those they did show all had the 1930s-40s Warner Bros logo at the start. None that I have on LD or DVD have this opening logo on trailers. 

 

Was there a Cagney trailer reels as a featurette on any early Cagney WB disc? 

Early on, it made sense not to include a trailer if it would negatively affect the bitrate of the movie within a DVD5 disc. Now that DVD9 media are being used for WAC titles, it's more puzzling. Perhaps they prefer to keep titles that maintain high bitrates on DVD5 media on those discs at the expense of trailers and other extras? I imagine the DVD9 discs are more expensive to use.

On a different note, do any other Warner Archive titles have a completely unique menu like Athena has? I found its menu very refreshing--just like the WB retail discs!

Hardly. A trailer takes up a negligible amount of space, really. I don't think they are purposely left off - perhaps the person who authored the disc didn't have access to it or know that one was available. That makes more sense than, "Well, this here 3-minute trailer, we have to leave it off to keep the bit rate up on the feature, see?" No, I don't believe it is that thought out, especially when the titles people are bemoaning the lack of a trailer on have more than enough room for them left on the disc even after the feature film video and audio encoding.

THE GREAT WALTZ, HOLLYWOOD PARTY, and RHAPSODY IN BLUE (all Warner Archive) have trailers.

BUSTING (MGM) has a trailer.

THE CONSTANT NYMPH and DAY OF THE EVIL GUN (both WA) have trailers.

The Sony Choice Collection DVD of SPIN A DARK WEB has a trailer.

"The deadliest female of the species weaves a web of terror no man can escape!"

Really spiffing little Brit Noir.

THE SPLIT from the WA has a trailer.

The MGM/MOD's of Huston's SINFUL DAVEY, Tourneur's TIMBUKTU, and Karlson's HORNETS' NEST have trailers.

AMBUSH, THE CAREY TREATMENT, DEVOTION, I LOVE MELVIN, and THE PRIZE (WA) have trailers.

SAVAGE SISTERS (MGM) has a trailer.

The WA title GRAND CENTRAL MURDER has a trailer, as does HOMICIDE on the Warner Bros. Film Noir Double Feature (may there be many more!) - the other feature on this disc does not.

Arch Oboler's BEWITCHED ("She Lived Two Amazing Lives - Darling of Society - Cruel Love-killer") from the WA has a trailer.

Bitter Sweet has the theatrical trailer on it.

THE CASE OF THE BLACK PARROT and WHILE THE PATIENT SLEPT from the WA have trailers.

You can add the following, they all have trailers. 

 

Westward The Women

Penrod And Sam

Penrod's Double Trouble

A Yank At Eaton

Tish

 

By the way, Westward the Women also has an Audio Commentary, and a production featurette.  

Mitchell Leisen's BEDEVILLED ("Intended for the Priesthood, Fated for Her. . . !") from the WA has a trailer.

The WA MOD of DESPERATE SEARCH, another fine B-movie from Joseph H. Lewis, has a trailer.

TICK...TICK...TICK (WA) has a TV spot as an extra.

Odd deviation from the norm, but I'm glad they added it. The original full-length trailer for TICK...TICK...TICK... can be found on Synapse Films' trailer compilation 42ND STREET FOREVER VOL. 2: THE DEUCE, so perhaps they chose the TV spot in order to have an exclusive item.

I think the Archive will include stuff like TV spots when they can as a little add bonus content because they have access to it and can add it to the DVD cheaply, just like they did with Naughty Marietta when they added the LUX radio show.

The MGM MOD of WAR DRUMS has a trailer.

Rather campy but fun programmer!
