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

5 MOTION PICTURE NEWS Vol. 12. No. 5 CREATED WITH HONEST PURPOSES The Equitable Motion Pictures Corporation in introduc ing itself, does so with the full knowledj^that motion picture exhibitors, generally, are justified in being skeptical. We make no promises other than to issue for release each and every week: 1st— A five reel feature production 2nd— A one reel comedy both of such a standard as the best talent (in each of the respective departments required by such an enterprise as ours) can produce, with a keen foresight toward the ever and rapid changing conditions and improvements that time demands and master minds create. We do not believe that our success shall come over night — our goal is too great to be reached hastily but with the courage of our convictions — a willingness to toil incessantly — inspired by an ambition to become the pride of the industry and representative of America's highest commercial ideals, we feel that our honest and honorable policies, coupled with a determination to help elevate our trade, will ultimately gain proper recognition, and to that end we solicit your co-operation. The Stars and some of our early releases, follow: William Courtleigh Florence Reed Tom Wise Helen Ware Julius Steger in Robert T. Haines in "Life's Crucible" "The Cowardly Way" in "Blue Grass" in "The Price" "The Master of the House" in "Human Cargoes" The above are merely mentioned to acquaint you with the type and character of Equitable Productions.
