| Quotes: |
[Discussing the addition of sound to film with brothers Albert Warner and Sam Warner] We could ultimately develop sound to the point where people ask for talking pictures.
<br />
<hr>
It is not the challenge of dollars . . . it is the challenge of ideals and ideas! If the producers of pictures see only the dollar--then I believe those production efforts will fail.
<br />
<hr>
[in 1927, when initially told by brother Sam Warner that the studio was developing talking pictures] Who the hell wants to hear actors talk? |
