Douglas remained with his father <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Shearer_(lumber_merchant)" title="Andrew Shearer (lumber merchant)">Andrew</a> in <a href="/wiki/Montreal,_Canada" class="mw-redirect" title="Montreal, Canada">Montreal</a> while his two younger sisters, <a href="/wiki/Norma_Shearer" title="Norma Shearer">Norma Shearer</a> (the <a href="/wiki/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer" title="Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer">Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer</a> star) and <a href="/wiki/Athole_Shearer" title="Athole Shearer">Athole Shearer</a> (also a Hollywood actress and one-time wife of director <a href="/wiki/Howard_Hawks" title="Howard Hawks">Howard Hawks</a>), moved to the United States—to <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a>—with their mother, Edith.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Unable to afford a university education, Douglas Shearer left school and began working in a variety of jobs. In 1924, he traveled to <a href="/wiki/Hollywood,_California" class="mw-redirect" title="Hollywood, California">Hollywood, California</a>, to visit his mother and sisters, who had moved there a few years earlier. He decided to remain there too, finding a job at <a href="/wiki/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer" title="Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer">Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer</a>, where Norma was already under contract. </p><p>At MGM, working as an assistant in the studio's camera department, he pursued an interest in adding sound to film.<sup id="cite_ref-Katz_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Katz-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> That interest led to a career that spanned more than four decades in motion pictures. "What I knew about sound you could have put in a nutshell," he said. "Overnight I became the one-man sound department. They ordered me to do the job; they didn't give it to me.
