	Sam Warner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sam Warner can be credited as the brother who brought sound to Warner Brothers theaters after tricking his brother Harry to attend a convention on the matter.
		Sam Warner placed all his efforts into developing sound for the company and some say it contributed to his early death due to a chronic sinus condition.
		Unfortunately, Sam died the day before The Jazz Singer made its debut in New York City and he never saw his creation come to the theater, nor for that matter the enormous impact it had on the motion picture business.

	Warner Bros. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sam and Jack Warner produced the pictures, while Harry and Albert handled finance and distribution in New York.
		Warner bought Schlesinger's cartoon unit in 1944, and in subsequent decades characters such as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck became central to the company's image.
		In the late 1990s, Warners obtained rights to the Harry Potter novels, and released feature film adaptions of the first in 2001, the second in 2002, the third in 2004, and the fourth in November 2005.

	CSISS Classics - Sam Bass Warner: Modeling the Streetcar Suburbs, 1962.
		During the early 1960s, before the environmental movement arose to criticize the destruction of open land overrun by the ravenous appetites of ever-sprawling American suburbs, increasing numbers of scholars were turning their concerns to the very aspirations of the suburban movement - the wholesale abandonment of the urban landscape and its attendant problems.
		Warner computed that by 1900 "the potential area open to this group was now thirty-two times [the size of] the old city." Closer in was the central middle class ring, which in 1900 extended from three-and-a-half to six miles out from the city.
		Warner was quick to point out that this development had been largely uniform in character even though homebuilders were largely individuals working without the benefit of large amounts of capital or modern regulations.

		As it was for many immigrants of their generation, for the Warners the voyage to America was in part a trail of tears: Four additional children were left behind in the Polish soil, each of whom had died in infancy.
		Sam's original dream was to use the Vitaphone disk-based sound system to back up Warner's silent films with lush orchestral scores in even the smallest theatres, and to couple the music with synchronized sound effects.
		Warner Bros. launched the screen careers of both Marlon Brando (with "A Streetcar Named Desire") and James Dean (who made all three of his features for the studio) in the early 1950s, showing, if temporarily, that the studio could be more than a match for changing times.
