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

34 EXHIBITORS HERALD September 30, 1922 Paul Brunet has resigned as president of Pathe Exchange to return to his native land, France. He will remain a member of the board of directors of the company. It's all right for human beings to occupy the center of the stage once in awhile but to monopolize it is all wrong, say Teddy, Pepper and Bruno, three of the educated animals appearing in the Mack Sennett production, "Bow Wow," which First National is distributing. A number of animals have made their mark in pictures within the last year or so. Jake and Sol Schreiber of the Blackstone theatre, Detroit, Mich. The fox was captured by Jake on his recent hunting trip to Wyoming. W. W. Hodkinson Corporation branch at Detroit. Left to right: Miss Jacques, Norman Lane, Ralph E. Peckham, manager; Fred Reynolds, Harry Lloyd, Miss Stickle, S. K. Decker. Left to right: George E. Guise, general manager of Miles Theatre Circuit — Miles, Regent and Orpheum — at Detroit; E. B. Stevens is manager of the Orpheum. Recently the newspapers have given accounts of the summer activities at Deauville, France. Timely then is the Deauville bathing beach scenes in the new Gloria Swanson Paramount picture, "The Impossible Mrs. Bellow." which is directed by Sam Wood. To be efficient in art one must relax, says Charles Ray whose "A Tailor Made Man" will be distributed by United Artists. Therefore, he reclines in arms of Jacqueline Logan, Ethel Grandin and Charlotte Pierce, his leading women.
