Description:
In late-1916, Exhibitor's Trade Review entered a crowded market of weekly motion picture trade publications that already included the Moving Picture World, Motion Picture News, Exhibitor's Herald, and Motography, along with theatre and vaudeville-oriented papers that covered film, such as Variety, the Billboard, and the New York Clipper. To gain market share and differentiate itself from competitors, Exhibitor's Trade Review pursued a variety of tactics -- some constructive (gathering allies among exhibitor organizations), others destructive (smearing the reputations of competing trade papers and certain film companies that refused to buy advertising). Despite the behind-the-scenes controversies, though, Exhibitor's Trade Review appears to have, in the words of Alan Gevinson, 'established itself legitimately in its role as advisor to and fighter for the independent exhibitor.' All the issues that mattered to independent exhibitors were covered, including censorship, taxes, distributor contracts, piano accompaniment, and, of course, the films. In 1926, Exhibitor's Trade Review ceased weekly publication and only offered the daily service, Exhibitor's Daily, which was acquired a few years later by Martin Quigley as he attempted to consolidate the industry's trade papers under his control. -- Eric Hoyt, 2014

Well, folks, we won't have to go to the circus to see what a horse looks like -this . week, . Nope, "Black Cyclone" swooped into the1 Capitol yesterday for a week's melodramatic stay, starring Rex, the "wonder horse," iff a story written ^y Hal Roach, expertly directed by Fre„d Jackman.. This is the most notable produc-.. tion we^ have seen ni many a action" centers around Black Cyclone, who grows from a. colt to restless "manhood" alone in the wilds. We follow his courting of Laily, the "silver streak" he adores His battles with The Killer, an outlaw equine, who trespasses and conquers bands of wild horses by might. _ Three "humans" are introduced as the story nears its close, their loves and battles closely linked to those of .Black Cyclone. There's a race, too, most thrilling and glorious. If you go to the Capitol only to see Guinn "Williams race Black Cyclone bareback up hill and down dale, you'll get the thrill of a lj^gjjrn^.
