- Hello, I
4
00:00:15,415 --> 00:00:17,615
Welcome back to TCM as we
continue to spend the night
5
00:00:17,618 --> 00:00:20,948
honoring the four original
Warner Brothers and the studio
6
00:00:20,954 --> 00:00:23,257
they launched 100 years ago.
7
00:00:23,257 --> 00:00:27,427
On April 4th, 1923 four
enterprising Polish Jewish
8
00:00:27,427 --> 00:00:29,727
immigrants with a
passion for the movies
9
00:00:29,730 --> 00:00:32,630
formerly incorporated
their own Hollywood studio,
10
00:00:32,633 --> 00:00:33,767
Warner Brothers.
11
00:00:33,767 --> 00:00:35,035
This month on TCM,
12
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:37,665
weโre celebrating Warner
Brothers centennial
13
00:00:37,671 --> 00:00:38,871
with a lineup of movies
14
00:00:38,872 --> 00:00:42,075
that traces the studioโs
history and impact.
15
00:00:42,075 --> 00:00:44,575
Tonight weโre starting
with the earliest years
16
00:00:44,578 --> 00:00:47,108
when Harry, Albert,
Sam, and Jack Warner
17
00:00:47,114 --> 00:00:48,649
were still finding their footing
18
00:00:48,649 --> 00:00:51,249
in the burgeoning
motion picture industry.
19
00:00:51,251 --> 00:00:53,987
The brothers Warner entered
the business years before
20
00:00:53,987 --> 00:00:56,156
forming the studio as we know it
21
00:00:56,156 --> 00:00:59,026
when movies were still
a brand new median.
22
00:00:59,026 --> 00:01:02,426
They started out exhibiting
films on a traveling basis.
23
00:01:02,429 --> 00:01:05,129
By 1904, they had
acquired theaters
24
00:01:05,132 --> 00:01:07,367
and moved into
film distribution.
25
00:01:07,367 --> 00:01:10,597
Decade later, they began
producing their own films.
26
00:01:10,604 --> 00:01:12,673
Then in 1917, they moved
27
00:01:12,673 --> 00:01:14,141
their production
headquarters to Hollywood.
28
00:01:14,141 --> 00:01:18,879
In 1923, they incorporated
as Warner Brothers,
29
00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:22,379
but they nearly lost
it all right away.
30
00:01:22,382 --> 00:01:24,782
The studio was in dire
financial straits,
31
00:01:24,785 --> 00:01:25,852
might have gone under,
32
00:01:25,852 --> 00:01:27,821
if not for the sudden discovery
33
00:01:27,821 --> 00:01:30,691
of a wildly popular movie star.
34
00:01:30,691 --> 00:01:34,061
That star was a German
Shepherd named Rin Tin Tin.
35
00:01:34,061 --> 00:01:35,529
(gentle dramatic music)
36
00:01:35,529 --> 00:01:38,765
Up next he stars in the
1925 Warner Brothers picture
37
00:01:38,765 --> 00:01:40,695
"Clash of the Wolves".
38
00:01:40,701 --> 00:01:43,001
Rin Tin Tin was
discovered in France
39
00:01:43,003 --> 00:01:45,038
by an American
corporal Lee Duncan
40
00:01:45,038 --> 00:01:47,668
serving overseas
during World War I.
41
00:01:47,674 --> 00:01:50,644
Duncan rescued the dog
from a bombed out kennel
42
00:01:50,644 --> 00:01:53,580
and named him after a
popular French puppet.
43
00:01:53,580 --> 00:01:55,816
When Duncan returned
home to the US,
44
00:01:55,816 --> 00:01:58,016
he brought Rin Tin Tin with him
45
00:01:58,018 --> 00:02:02,188
and quickly realized that
Rinty was no ordinary dog.
46
00:02:02,189 --> 00:02:04,489
Duncan entered him
into a dog show
47
00:02:04,491 --> 00:02:06,491
where Rinty jumped over a wall
48
00:02:06,493 --> 00:02:08,562
that was nearly 12 feet high
49
00:02:08,562 --> 00:02:12,265
and a friend managed to
record the jump on film.
50
00:02:12,265 --> 00:02:16,065
A newsreel company paid
$350 for the footage,
51
00:02:16,069 --> 00:02:18,605
and Corporal Duncan
parlayed that success
52
00:02:18,605 --> 00:02:20,535
into a movie contract.
53
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:24,210
Warner Brothers put the dog
in a cheap 1923 production
54
00:02:24,211 --> 00:02:26,046
called "Where the North Begins".
55
00:02:26,046 --> 00:02:29,646
Movie grossed over $300,000
in a single weekend.
56
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:32,519
The studio Warner Brothers
was back in business
57
00:02:32,519 --> 00:02:36,389
thanks to the leaping ability,
loyalty, and commitment
58
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:39,190
to squirrel chasing
of its first big star.
59
00:02:39,192 --> 00:02:43,096
From 1925, also with Charles
Farrell and June Marlowe
60
00:02:43,096 --> 00:02:46,326
here is Rin Tin Tin in
"Clash of the Wolves".
61
01:11:25,815 --> 01:11:29,519
Rin Tin Tin made h
62
01:11:29,519 --> 01:11:31,487
He became such a
hit with audiences
63
01:11:31,487 --> 01:11:33,717
that his pictures
literally saved the studio
64
01:11:33,723 --> 01:11:34,957
from bankruptcy.
65
01:11:34,957 --> 01:11:38,687
Jack Warner nicknamed
him the Mortgage Lifter.
66
01:11:38,694 --> 01:11:40,997
The dogโs pictures also
gave an important boost
67
01:11:40,997 --> 01:11:45,167
to an enterprising writer and
producer named Darryl Zanuck.
68
01:11:45,168 --> 01:11:48,498
Zanuck, whoโd go on to become
the head of 20th Century Fox,
69
01:11:48,504 --> 01:11:52,241
started out supervising most
of the Rin Tin Tin films,
70
01:11:52,241 --> 01:11:54,710
and he soon became Jack
Warnerโs right-hand man
71
01:11:54,710 --> 01:11:56,145
at the studio.
72
01:11:56,145 --> 01:11:59,675
In total, Rinty starred
in 27 silent films,
73
01:11:59,682 --> 01:12:02,018
and the success of those
movies paved the way
74
01:12:02,018 --> 01:12:03,548
for Warner Bros to become
75
01:12:03,553 --> 01:12:05,822
one of the top
studios in Hollywood.
76
01:12:05,822 --> 01:12:07,290
By the end of the decade,
77
01:12:07,290 --> 01:12:10,526
Warners would be the home of
Ernst Lubitsch, John Barrymore,
78
01:12:10,526 --> 01:12:13,896
and an invention that changed
the course of movie history,
79
01:12:13,896 --> 01:12:15,726
synchronized sound.
80
01:12:15,731 --> 01:12:18,100
Coming up, a new
documentary from France
81
01:12:18,100 --> 01:12:20,369
about the origins
of sound in movies
82
01:12:20,369 --> 01:12:23,606
and the role that Warner Bros
played in that revolution.
83
01:12:23,606 --> 01:12:27,806
"Cinema Finds Its Voice" is
next on Turner Classic Movies.
