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

HARD BOILED EDITORS Try to slip over an idea they don't like. They are tough enough when the idea is good. Because they are so cold-blooded and critical their comments are all the more surprising. Read these: Telegram from Charles Richardson, Movie Editor, The Detroit Times: "Many thanks for the splendid new Motion Picture News Blue Book. It is a tremendous help in editing a movie page. Indeed, it is superior to last year's edition." Don Allen, Photoplay Editor of the Davenport, la., Democrat: "The 1930 copy of your Motion Picture News Blue Book is at hand, and after an initial perusal it is easy to say that the book will prove as valuable as its predecessors. And that's saying something." E. C. Luedke, President The May wood, III., Daily News: ( "Thanks for the copy of the 1930 Motion Picture News Blue Book mailed to our editor, Mr. Noel . . . it is a splendid work and will aid us in building up our film world news. We wonder if we could prevail on you to send us another copy for our library, as the copy to the editor is considered his personal property?" Roger S. Brown, Dramatic Editor The Daily Argus-Leader, Sioux Falls, S. D.: "I consider the 1930 Edition of Motion Picture News Blue Book the most complete and valuable compilation that has come to my desk in many years. An invaluable aid to any motion picture editor and one which he will find it difficult to get along without."
