subject: Samuel Warner, The Warner Brothers, And His Place In The History of Communication [print this page] Samuel Warner died on October 5, 1927, the day before the premiere of The Jazz Singer. As the family grieved over Sam's sudden passing, the success of The Jazz Singer helped establish Warner Bros. as a major studio. Without Sam's idea, the Warner Bros. would not be the amazing studio that we know today. Movies, the entertainment industry, and tracking its evolution are important in tracking the history of modern communications. Samuel Warner opened cinemas, was a pioneer in "talking pictures", and will always be seen as an instrumental figure in the history of phone communications.
