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

Page 30 Exhibitors Trade Revieu Ifith The Independent Distributors JANS OPENS NEW HEADQUARTERS After getting settled in his new offices in the Loew State Theatre building, H. F. Jans decided that this was a good time for him to get out of the road, so he left last Tuesday on a swing around the key cities to close up the territory still remaining open on "Playthings of Desire", the first of his new series of independent features.

All the Jans series will be sold on the "Jans Plan" of outright purchase. The state rights buyer buj'S the picture and it becomes his property to do with as he sees fit. There is no percentage arrangement in the Jans contract, thus doing away with considerable bookeeping for the exchange man and the distributor. The plan has been heartily endorsed and it is considered the best agreement under which a state rights picture can be sold.
