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

OR FOUR YEARS THE Educational Pictures trademark has stood for comedies and other Short Subjects of the highest quality — for the best Diversified Entertainment. During this period most of the really great theatres have relied on Educational Pictures for Short Subjects of consistently high merit to balance their programs. The Educational Pictures policy is, and always will continue to be, Quality rather than Quantity. This season Educational is presenting not only vthe strongest program of one and two-reel subjects in its history, but also the greatest line-up of comedy stars ever grouped under one banner. Backed by consistent national advertising, Educational Pictures are not only Short Subjects of high entertainment value, but productions of real box-office pulling power, especially for those exhibitors who have learned to advertise their Whole Show. When your patrons come to your theatre, they want to see a Whole Show, with comedy and novelty as well as a good feature. And they want to know in advance that they can be assured of finding this diversified amusement. You can keep the rest of your show on a par with the very best of your features by selecting your Short Subjects from Educational Pictures. And you can appeal to All Your Patrons by announcing them adequately in your advertising.
