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

triple praise from Chicago Wc expected the critics of the trade papers and the photopUiy public to like this new est J. Warren Kerrigan production. From all angh's we have not been disappointed, as these Chicago notices prove: CHICAGO TRIBLiSE: ''The Joyous Liar" is a good picture and J. Warren Kerrigan' adds to his undeniably good h>oks, sincerity and iikeableness. For once we can obey our good mayor's instructions "to lay down our hammer and get a horn." A plausible comedydrama, cleverly directed with lots ol' action, much ijuiet lun and well-aimed "punch." SCREEN OPIMONS: Many there arc who are going to find real pleasure in "The Joyous Liar. ' The major for the nevwest Kerrigan ity of exhibitors will use it to advantage. Few pictures, unless they bear the label special, exceed this in point of interest and presentation. A Class A picture. EXHIBITORS' HERALD: In "The Joyous Liar" J. Warren Kerrigan has one of the most delightful melodramatic comedies that has reached the screen in months. 5,000 feet of clean, entertaining humor that will add to Kerrigan's popularity. As the best evidence in the world of the likeahility of this picture we announce the remarkable fact that without being asked to do so. twenty first run exhibitors have doubled all their previous Kerrigan prices for this rollicking, enjoyable production. .
