  • Trivia
    Was the general production chief for Warner Bros. from 1928-1938, at the Vitagraph Studios in Brooklyn, where he was in charge of the company's short subject (non-cartoon) productions. In 1938, when most of the short-subject production was moved to the Burbank studios, Warners sent Sax to England to head the Warners production in London. He resigned that position in January 1941 and returned to the US.
