Description:
Motion Picture News was the leading film industry trade journal during the 1920s. Founded in 1908 as a counterweight to the dominant Moving Picture World, the News was the voice for the independent, non-Trust, producers. Later Motion Picture News expanded its coverage to the entire industry, supporting the independent exhibitor with objective film reviews, summaries of programs at theatres across the nation, activities of regional exchanges in the cities with regional exchanges, and excellent coverage of the coming of sound and screenings and stage shots at the major New York City theatres. -- David Pierce, 2013

Sincerely, RICHARD WALLACE DIRECTOR OF: "SHOP WORN ANGEL,” first alltalking picture made on Paramount lot; "LADY BE GOOD,” "THE BUTTER AND EGG MAN,” "A TEXAS STEER,” "AMERICAN BEAUTY,” "THE POOR NUT,” "McFADDEN’S FLATS” In Production "INNOCENTS OF PARIS”—Paramount RICHARD WALLACE A FEW HIGHLIGHTS: Born and educated in Sacramento, Calif., he corrvpleted his education as a medical student in Chicago and later came to Los Angeles, where he entered the undertaking business. Motion pictures showed greater promise for opportunities, so he joined the Mack Sennett-Keystone Company as jack-of-alltrades. Directing looked best to him, so he learned everything that led up to it. He soon established himself as one of the best editors in the business. From editing he went to writing and clicked immediately with "The Connecticut Yankee,” and as a result was signed by Fox to direct. Contracts followed with other important producing organizations. Box-office check-ups of his productions have placed him in the front rank of directors, with the result that Paramount has signed him to direct "Innocents of Paris,” Maurice Chevalier’s first starring vehicle. 67
