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

The price of raw stock is now so low, and the standard price for printing so cheap that pro g 1 ducers should noi encourage a cheaper product at the sacrifice of quality. J 1 While it costs more to handle every foot of film individually and not by machine, we only charge the . g 1 standard price for printing. Our profits mav be less, but our satisfaction is the fact that we are recognized J I as AMERICA'S PREMIER LABORATORY. | i We are now making prints on Douglas Fairbanks' latest achievement, acclaimed as the world's greatest J ■ motion picture in cost and magnificence, and requiring the utmost in photographic science to do justict lo it, | 1 namely, _ I "THETHIEFOFBAGDAD" 1 Yours truly, WALTER E.
