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 44 Exhibitors Trade Review VALENTINO MEDAL TO BE AWARDED SOON Votes from the critics are now pouring in for the Rudolph Valentino Medal for Screen Acting, and announcement of the winner will be made soon. A suitable ceremony for the presentation of the medal will be arranged. The medal itself has been designed by William Cameron Menzie^, famous artist, who conceived the settings for "The Thief of Bagdad" and who is now on the Valentino staff for "Cobra." Harry Carr, well-known Los Angeles critic, makes this interesting suggestion: "Valentino's 'best-actor' contest offers a bully chance for some smart exhibitor. When the critics have finally decided by their votes which actors are to be considered among the immortals, let the exhibitor collect the best scenes from the career of each and show them for an evenings entertainment."
