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

Hollywood Shares Production With New York Plants Survey Shows More Intensive Schedules Than Reported One Month Ago By HARRY HAMMOND BEALL (West Coast Rep>cscntQti-c, Exhibitors Heraid) HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 12.— While Hollywood production is far in advance of what it was the last time the West Coast studio situation was surveyed, it has not yet reached the pinnacle attained in 1923. The "old line" companies are beginning to build up their schedules, and independents are cropping forth almost every day with some new production, but it is still a long way to go to the hum of activity when all was in full blast last year. On the other hand Hollywood is having to share production activities with New York more than ever before. Statisticians have estimated that where Hollywood was once getting a play on 90 per cent of picture making, the percentage has fallen to less than 75 per cent. The outlook in general, however, is encouraging, particularly in view of the pace set by Famous Players-Lasky, whose early 1934 production plans have just been made public. Stagnation Period Ends Jesse L. Lasky, in an announcement given out as he was leaving for New York, made it apparent that the period of stagnation in Hollywood studios is over and that the Paramount plant will start its 1924 productions with a full blast effect that will carry it into the fall. In making public the list of screen plays that will engage the attention of the Famous Players-Lasky cohorts, the corporation's first vice-president in charge of production sounded the tocsin notes of the new regime in Hollywood. And, having delivered his joyous news. Lasky is en route to New York City to confer with the president, Adolph Zukor, and other officials on plans that will run through the summer and far into the autumn. Among other things. Lasky's announcement revealed that several noteworthy screen favorites have been signed. Cecil B, DeMille's next picture will be "Feet nf Clay," and production will follow the completion of "Triumph." The photoplay is an adaptation of Margaretta Tuttle's novel, and Leatrice Joy and Rod LaRocque will head the list of players. George Mel ford, who has just completed "The Dawn nf Tomorrow," will start at once on "The Wildcat," featuring Bebe Daniels, who will return to Hollywood as soon as she completes her work with Rodolph Valentino in "Monsieur Beaucaire." "The Wildcat" is a Julia Heme adaptation of Manuel Penella's popular Spanish opera, William B. De Mille, now directing Richard Dix and Lois Wilson in "Icebound" in New York, will return here to begin work on a story as yet untitled. James Cruze, who has completed "Magnolia." will produce "The Enemy Sec," featuring Betty Compson in an adaptation of Owen Johnson's novel. Pola Negri, when she finishes "Men" with Dimitri Buchowetzki, will star in a second picture. "Roles." by Elizabeth Alexander, will star Agnes Ayres in a Wood production. He is now completing "Bluff," in which Miss Ayres and Antonio Moreno are co-starred. Joseph Henaberry will feature Leatrice Joy in (Continued on page 47)
