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

THE MOTION PICTURE NEWS, 4* NOTES The Edison Company is now issuing music cues for all Edison films. They are being prepared by a wellknown orchestra leader, who has had years of experience in vaudeville and motion picture houses, and are being printed in the Kinetogram, the Edison house publication. The Nostrand Theatre, 625 Nostrand avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., is the first motion picture theatre built under the new New York State laws. Mr. Machant is the president of the company. The theatre seats five hundred and fifty people in plain chairs and fifty box chairs. This theatre will be equipped with a ladies' retiring room and gentlemen's smoking room. His old theatre was the leading one in this neighborhood, and was such a success that he has spent over $9,000 in alterations. The American Seating Company is putting in the seats and the Typhone Fan Company the ventilation. The house carries a widely diversified program. The opening attraction will be the four-reel feature, "The Resurrection," featuring Blanche Walsh, owned by the Unique Company, 145 West 45th street. At the opening Mr. Machant will welcome anyone interested in looking over his new house. Willie Miller, of Edinburg, Ind., wrote to the Kleine Optical Company, stating that he was interested in theatre equipment, and to kindly forward a projection machine, drawing on the Union Trust Company, Edinburg, Ind., for the necessary funds. The machine went in due course, and in due course, also, went a sight draft on the Union Trust Company. A week elapsed, and then Manager Frank Hough was stunned by the receipt of the draft returned by the bank, with a note attached saying: "William Miller unable to make payment. Stated intention was to pay on the instalment plan. Party about twelve years old." Carlyle Blackwell, of the Kalem Company, -will be installed at the old Essanay studios between Hollywood and town next week. "Colonel'' C Rhys Pryce goes with him. He will have his own company, which will include Louise Glaum. Mr. Blackwell will produce social dramas and light comedies. Director J. P. McGown will also have a company at the same studios. He will take Bert Hadley Chance Ward, Helen Holmes, William Brunton, G. A. Williams, Leo Maloney and others with him. By the way, this is Carlyle Blackwell's fourth year with the Kalem Company; he is a big favorite. _LYON,& HEALY'S EMPRESS Bell Electric Pianos The newest, finest and most effective musical instrument for Motion Picture Theatres Operator not necessary, but may also be played by hand.
