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 11, 19 SO Motion Picture News 83 COMPLETE RELEASE CHART Productions are listed according to the names of distributors in order that the exhibitor may have a short-cut toward such information as he may need, as well as information on pictures that are coming. Features which are finished or are in work, but to which release dates have not been assigned, are listed in "Coming Attractions." Running times are those supplied by the distributor. Where they vary in different cities or towns, the change is probably due to state or local censorship deletions. AM KINO FEATURES Tint st,r Call and Artem E. Gall-N.
