The other Warner brothers were Harry Warner (1881–1958), Albert Warner (1883–1967), and Jack L. Warner (1892–1978).Samuel Eichelbaum was born in Baltimore, Maryland, not long after the arrival of his Polish-Jewish parents in the US. In the early 1900s he worked as a movie projectionist at an amusement park and convinced Harry Warner of the new medium's possibilities. He has been hailed as the most visionary of the group for his experiments with talking pictures. His interest in film came after seeing Thomas Edison's The Great Train Robbery while working as an employee at Cedar Point Pleasure Resort in Sandusky, Ohio.
