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 3u#?/er PROJECTORS A GENERAL test gave MUTUAL satisfaction and UNIVERSAL popularity. Over 4,000,000 ft. of film per week is projected by Simplex machines at the main offices and studios of the General, Mutual and Universal film companies. Think of it, i million ft. or "'/z miles. There are 16 pictures to every foot of film, therefore in 4,000,000 ft., the intermittent movement must operate 64,000,000 times. One-fourth of a revolution of the intermittent sprocket moves the film the length of one picture; therefore one complete revolution would draw down four pictures and to move the above amount of film would require 16,000,000 complete revolutions. A sprocket 1.35" in diameter, traveling at the same rate of speed on a surface, would cover in one week's time 1070.7 miles or equal to a distance as great as from New York to Chicago. This should convince the most skeptical that Simplex machines are built for hard service. They are capable of a quality of projection heretofore unknown to the moving picture world and have successfully competed with over forty types of different projectors at home and abroad.
