Description:
Founded in 1915 by a Chicago printing company as a regional trade paper for Midwest exhibitors. In 1916, editor Martin Quigley bought out the owners, and over the next 15 years, he grew EXHIBITORS HERALD into one of the most important national, weekly trade papers in the film business. Quigley acquired MOTOGRAPHY in 1917 and MOVING PICTURE WORLD in 1927. In 1930, he acquired MOTION PICTURE NEWS and the new 'consolidated' publication became MOTION PICTURE HERALD. From the pulpit of his editorial page, Quigley preached the need to improve the motion picture industry and improve the quality of the films. He skillfully served as a mediator in disputes -- between distributors and exhibitors, between the film industry and the Catholic Church (Quigley was one of the architects of the Production Code). Quigley claimed that EXHIBITORS HERALD represented the 'independent exhibitor' and sections like 'What the Picture Did for Me?' certainly provided a forum for theater owners. But plenty of exhibitors viewed Quigley as a servant to the studios and large theater chains. In response, publications such as SHOWMEN'S TRADE REVIEW, INDEPENDENT EXHIBITORS FILM BULLETIN, HARRISON'S REPORTS, and BOX OFFICE were either formed or grew significantly in the years following Quigley's brief moment of consolidation in 1930. -- Eric Hoyt, 2014

Released October 2. 1922 THIS is a Penrhyn Stanlaws production with a particularly brilliant cast headed by Bebe Daniels, a star in her own right : James Kirkwood, featured in "The Man From Home." 'The Great Impersonation", and other successes ; lovely Anna Q. Xilsson : and Adolphe Menjou who made such a hit as the King in "The Three Musketeers." The story was adapted to the screen by J. E. Nash and Sony a Levien from the novel by Cynthia Stockley. author of "Poppy." A powerful domestic drama bristling with tense scenes and crashing climaxes is unfolded in the picture. The setting is the colorful region of the famous Kimberley diamond mines. The heroine — a fascinating young bride with a somewhat flirtatious disposition — allows her love for exquisite jewels to lure her into the clutches of an unscrupulous diamond king. She is rescued by her young husband in the nick of time, after startling adventures. Penrhyn Stanlaws, the artist-director who has an unbroken line of box-office hits to his credit, never offered film fans such satisfying, appealing, and gorgeously produced entertainment as "Pink Gods."
