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

age 72 Exhibitors Trade Review NEW THEATRE STARTS SOON Seattle, Wash. — Construction work on a new half million dollar theatre covering a half block on North Broadway between' Harrison and Republican Streets started last week, J. von Herberg, manager, announced yesterday. The suburban playhouse, one of the finest of its kind in America, will be of Spanish style architecture. An automobile driveway, skirting beautiful sunken gardens, will be one of the landscape features of the project. North of the theatre a large parking space has been provided for automobile patrons. The stage, lighting arrangements and seating accommodations will be the last word in theatre development, B. Marcus Priteca and his association, Frederick J. Peters, architects, informed Manager von Herberg. "The desire to give theatre patrons of the North Broadway district one of the most beautiful play-houses in America was the principal reason for constructing such an elaborate theatre in this district," said Manager von Herberg. "No expense will be spared to make it Seattle's best and most artistic theatre." AMONG THE ARCHITECTS Architect Henry C. Smith, Humboldt Bank Building, San Francisco, has completed plans and construction will start shortly of a class "C" motion picture theatre building, seating capacity, 350, on San Bruno Ave., for Leo Ruegg, at an estimated cost of $25,000. Ruegg Bros., 4850 California Street, will build. The same architect is completing plans for a two-story frame and stucco office building, 50 by 100 feet, to be constructed in the Visitacion Valley, Ca., for the Schlage Lock Co., premises.
