Today’s Final Jeopardy

Last name of 3 men who missed the 1927 premiere of “The Jazz Singer” because a 4th of that name had died hours before

Final Jeopardy Answer

The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Warner 

Final Jeopardy Explanation

The Warner brothers established the Warner Bros. studio, a major American film studio – Sam, Harry, Albert, and Jack L. Warner.

Sam Warner is credited with acquiring the technology that allowed Warner Bros. to produce The Jazz Singer, the film industry’s first feature-length talking picture.

He died the day before the premiere of the movie of pneumonia, and as a result none of the Warner brothers attended the October 6, 1927 premiere of The Jazz Singer at Warner Bros.’ flagship theater in New York City as the surviving brothers returned to California for his funeral.
