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

All machine specifications read much alike, yet YOU KNOW all machines are not alike in the service they give extending over a period of years. There lies the difference, plus — the way the MOTIOGRAPH makers DO things. IT IS STANDARD. The MOTIOGRAPH standard has always been simply this: Make every part of the machine the best, buy. only the best material; make it the right way; put it together with skilled labor; test it with utmost care, and then sell this product in a standard highclass way. THIS HIGH MOTIOGRAPH STANDARD IS EXPENSIVE, YET, WE THINK, MERELY GOOD BUSINESS POLICY. It has established the reputation of the MOTIOGRAPH. We are proud of that reputation, and jealous of it, too. WE INTEND TO MAINTAIN THE MOTIOGRAPH REPUTATION BY MAINTAINING OUR STANDARD. APPROVED BY THE NATIONAL BOARD OF FIRE UNDERWRITERS MANUFACTURED AND GUARANTEED BY The ENTERPRISE OPTICAL MFG.
