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

My dear Mr. plunket: Words fail to express my appreciation of the picture entitled "Just Tony". I have taken several friends on two different occasions. This is the first time in my life that I have ever seen a picture twice, ana enjoyed it as much, if not more, the second tiiie than I did the first. I have worked with horses for the past twenty years and, of course, I know hew intelligent these faithful creatures are. I hope the public will be awakened through this picture and realise how much more can be done with animals through kindness. I am sure "Just Tony" will have a successful run. Every boy and girl, as well as the grownups, in the United States should see this picture and Williats Pox certainly deserves praise for producing such an excellent entertainment. I thank you for calling my attention to this wonderful picture, and giving me the opportunity of seeing it. You know I never go to shows of any kind but if there were more pictures like this, I would always go to see then. Very sincerely yours. TrE HORSE AID SOCIETY.. OF NEW (Mrs. J.M.
