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

January 5, 1925 Page 4;J Moon-Beams Editor "Red" Assist. Ed "Red" Gen'l Mgr "Red" Chef ."Red" Total "Red" I have been authorized by the board of directions to see if it is possible to give away money in New York. For that purpose there has been created a fund of $9,763,065 58 to be given to such brain workers as can match up a last line with some of the limericks we put forward in these here new columns. I can see no good reason why this page need be any trouble to me every week when you folks can just as well fill it yourself and allow me a little peace and quiet. That's why I have had this fund laid aside for paying you word slingers. Now gwan and git rich ! * * * Chap came in last week and bet me a quarter that I couldn't tear off a limerick on Mintz over at the Cameo outfit. Here's how I took his two bits : Take a picture that looks like a quintz Turn it over to Alistcr M. Mintz He'll add music and such With a deft and sure touch And the film once a quintz, is immintz ! ! If there are any more hang nails which believe I can't turn out a limerick on ANY SUBJECT at ANY TIME let them rise! ! The Jans Productions so Herb tells me is going to feature Ann Pennington in "The Mad Dancer." It's a film of some sort, so I hear. * * * I don't know whether they want it known at this time or not but Herb said that he thought it might be all right for me to say something about it inasmuch as he's had 29 press notices about it in the last three days. So I'm letting the cat out of the bag and in addition will offer a Grand Prize for the "Last Line" of the limerick which the printer will now set up just below this: One Million Dollars for Last Lines! ! ! (More or less) If in rime I could say what I please And could talk of Ann Pennington's knees My gosh how I'd rave I just wouldn't behave! (Strut yer stuff ! !) Would especially like to have contributions from Dave Weschner, Johnny Hines, Billy Wilkerson, J. Charles Davis, Henri Sloan, Dot Cleveland, V. Morris, Boone Mancall, and George H. Davis. Here's another puzzle editor who claims he's good ! Called up yesterday and dared me to print something on him ! A few minutes later the following beautiful lines fell from my trenchant Underwood. LOS ANGELES. Cal. LA — 1 All-Star Feature Dist., Inc., 915 S. Olive St. J. K. Adams, the man with the mane Claims that barbers drive him insane For they hand it to him When he asks for a "trim" In a way that causes him pain. If J. K. Adams reads this and doesn't like it all he has to do is put his complaint in writing and we will make a retraction. The following poem of passion was written after a light lunch and coupled with the fact that I don't know Kingsley very well and that Bill Steiner had mislaid his plug of Star you can see how this happened. In case the shirt stud has not been lost but is merely mislaid we will retract — gladly. P. Kingsley whose first name is Pierce Has a habit of looking real Fierce He would rumble and roar And we'd think he was sore When with words he'd attempt to sear us ! However if there's any rose bud over at Steiner's which thinks he can do any better let him step forward. That's how WE feel. * * * I rather thmk there's a few more lines to write in order to fill this space but I'm tired and have a lot of calls to make so I'll let the printer "lead 'em out" for me.
