From Wikipedia: The corporate name honours the four founding Warner brothers (born Wanskolaser), Harry (born Hirsz), Albert (born Aaron), Sam (Szmul), and Jack (born Itzhak), Jews who emigrated from Poland, Russian Empire to Ontario, Canada. The three elder brothers began in the exhibition business, having acquired a movie projector with which they showed films in the mining towns of Pennsylvania and Ohio. They opened their first theatre, the Cascade, in New Castle, Pennsylvania in 1903 (the original theater is still standing, and is being renovated as the centerpiece of the ongoing downtown revitalization in New Castle, hoping to attract tourists).[2] In 1904, the Warners founded the Pittsburgh-based Duquesne Amusement & Supply Company[2] (the precursor to Warner Bros. Pictures) to distribute films.
