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

FRANCES MARIONS A Glorious Contribution to a Great F RANGES MARION'S career is an unbroken record of amazing screen successes. This remarkable woman has more sure-fire box office productions to her credit than any other scenario writer in the industry. Her name to a picture is an assurance of the highest type of entertainment. A list of the productions for which she wrote scenarios, reads like a blue-book of the screen's sensations. And now comes "SIMON THE JESTER" her first production made for independent release on the great P. D. C. program. A powerful, stirring drama of human hearts, human loves and human lives — with an Oriental flavor — this first independent Frances Marion Production is a worthy successor to the long line of successes which this brilliant woman has contributed to the screen. Adapted bv Miss Marion from a great storv bv the world-famous novelist, William J. Locke, "SIMON THE JESTER" is a Super Picture of Superior Merit. with LILLIAN RICH EUGENE GBRIEN EDMUND BURNS HENRY B. WALTHALL WILLIAM PLATT Directed by George Melford Some of He?
