Died. Albert Warner, 84, second oldest of the four moviemaking Warner brothers and financial boss of the company until 1956; of cerebral hemorrhage; in Miami Beach, Fla. "Pictures," said Abe to his brothers one day, "ought to be a pretty good business to be in." So in New Castle, Pa., in 1906, the sons of a Polish immigrant butcher bought themselves a nickelodeon theater and by 1917 were cranking out their own silent films, soon moved to New York and then to Hollywood, where the saga went on until 1956, when they sold their controlling interests in Warner Bros, for $22 million.
