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

LIONEL BARRYMORE in A MAN RON 99 AN ADAPTATION By Lawrence Mars ten In "A Man of Iron," Lionel Barrymore has found one of the finest vehicles of his distinguished screen career. In the stern, forbidding background of a great steel mill is laid the drama of the tremendous struggle of a strong man to conquer a weak ivoman. It is a battle against great odds — a battle, the winning of which solves a problem whose very presence is a menace to the age-old insti tution of marriage. "A Man of Iron" is a prpoduction that is universal in its appeal. At These Leading Exchanges ALBANY — First Graphic Exchanges, Inc. ATLANTA — Southern States Film Co. BOSTON— Independent Films, Inc.
