I don't believe any of the Jane Withers films you listed were ever shown on AMC, except possibly the one with Shirley Temple.
And I agree about the Jones Family series. For a series with 17 entries it's crazy that it's almost never shown (and indeed probably still an unknown series to a lot of movie fans).
Watch for an article on The Jones Family series in an upcoming issue of the publication "Classic Images".

FASHION'S MIRROR (1930) - Vitaphone.

Despite the resemblance to Maynard Holmes I do not believe the hat delivery guy is Mr. Holmes.

And that's just where one would expect to see them. The only one I recall seeing on FMC is THIS IS THE LIFE and probably BRIGHT EYES.
HER FIRST BEAU (1941) (Columbia) was scheduled on TCM a couple of years ago but was pulled from the schedule and not shown. So far it still hasn't been re-scheduled.
One might think that since TCM interviewed Jane Withers on a "Private Screenings" show a few years ago they'd try to acquire some of her movies.

That short is available as an extra on the 2005 DVD of THE BANDWAGON.
It's also included in the DVD set "Vitaphone Cavalcade of Musical Comedy Shorts". Details here:

I agree, too many of Jane Withers' movies, especially those made at Fox haven't been seen on TV anywhere in way too long.
But, some good news for her fans:
PADDY O'DAY is scheduled on TCM on June 27, 2012.

Mark,
I caught part of it and I agree with SansFin. You really didn't miss anything.
Stick with the early thirties where you know you can't go wrong!

Just for what it's worth:

As clore pointed out, RED LIGHT is a United Artists Picture, not Warner Bros.
I have seen it on TCM twice in the last couple of years, so it may be on again. Watch the listings!
I enjoyed it a lot, despite having read several unfavorable reviews by others, such as on IMDb.

Fred, Mark,
As you may know, Keye Luke was a very talented artist, as well as actor.
I have a great still taken on the set of THREE MEN IN WHITE showing Keye Luke painting a portrait of Van Johnson, with Van posing with a strange almost pained look on his face. (Wish I could post it here, but never quite figured that out.)

I am 99% sure this short has never been on TCM before. If part of it may look familiar to TCM viewers it may be because one of the musical numbers was used in a later Warner Bros. short, MUSICAL MOVIELAND (1944) which has been on TCM many times.
Here's info on the DVD set in which the short is available from Warner Archives:

Another variation of the story is MOST PRECIOUS THING IN LIFE (1934 - Columbia) starring Jean Arthur and Richard Cromwell.
It's not an easy one to find a copy of. It was scheduled on TCM a couple years ago but then pulled and not shown. But it is to be included in the upcoming "Jean Arthur Drama Collection" DVD set.
