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

October 16, 1915. MOTION PICTURE NEWS 99 is known not by its length but by its exceptional quality and extraordinary drawing power. In the new David Horsley CENTAUR STAR FEATURES quality is not sacrificed for length and consequent extra booking fees. Each release represents an effort to reach the highest point of merit and to carry at the same time, with convincing plays and with all star casts headed by CRANE WILBUR a high degree of popular appeal. These are primary essentials in a successful picture, whic{i in turn means success for the exhibitor running it. Centaur Star Features are obtainable in the regular Mutual service. Next release Oct. 27, “The Blood of Our Brothers,” a three reel allegorical drama decrying warfare. • ; • A negaxins’i success is measured by its advertising. Look over the “News."
