Description:
Motion Picture News was the leading film industry trade journal during the 1920s. Founded in 1908 as Moving Picture News -- intended 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 MOVING PICTURE NEWS 3 General Film Service Quality Films Reasonable Prices Efficient Service A popular service must necessarily include these three things. Of what good are quality films if prices are out of all reason? And what do low prices amount to, if the service feature is not in evidence? No one denies that the films known by the trade names, Biograph, Edison, Essanay, Kalem, Kleine (Cines-Eclipse), Lubin, Melies, Pathe, Selig and Vitagraph are the quality films of the industry. Any exhibitor who uses General Film Service will attest that the prices charged for it are reasonable. In fact, one exhibitor was good enough to say not long ago that he would insist upon General Film Service even at twice its present cost. The efficiency of the General Film organization is something you must learn through association. We're ready any time — now — to talk about serving you. Are you ready to talk with usf Just write "show me" on a postal card, mail it to the home office at 200 Fifth Ave., New York, or any of our distributing offices in the principal cities and we'll do the rest.
