Who were the founders?
The corporate name honors the four founding Warner brothers, Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack. The three elder brothers began in the movie theatre business, having acquired a movie projector with which they showed films in the mining towns of Pennsylvania and Ohio in 1903. Founded: April 4, 1923.
In 1927, the release of the world’s first “talkie,” (synchronized-sound feature film), The Jazz Singer, set a character and tone of innovation and influence that would become synonymous with the name Warner Bros. And--as Al Jolson foretold in this milestone movie--“you ain’t heard nothin’ yet!” And since then Warner bros has spiraled on.
