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

H All WINTERBOTTOM, W 18 kind are a relief after costume and sobsters. Sixes, threes and photos good. New print from Minneapolis. Five reels. — Ryan & Kundert, Empress theatre, Beresford, S. D. — General patronage. THE GREAT DIAMOND MYSTERY, with Shirley Mason. — Good program offering and not padded. Five reels. — W. O. Stevens, Apollo theatre, Princeton, 111. — Local patronage. HEARTS OF OAK, with a special cast. — Follow this after “The Last Man on Earth.” We think it gave universal satisfaction and provided the best entertainment .of the season. Bought right. Made a pile of money on it Christmas night and again Bill Fox got cheated, but I remember when he cheated me, so we’re all even. Thanks, Mr. Fox, for this and “The Last Man on Earth.” If anyone doesn’t like them it’s because they did not get out and get the do, rae, me. — Sam Blair, Majestic theatre, Belleville, Kans. — General patronage. DANTE’S INFERNO, with Ralph Lewis.— A truly wonderful picture that will draw the crowds and please. Some of our patrons told us that it did more good than a six months sermon. The exhibitor that fails to run it is making the mistake of his life. Six reels. — H. M. Face & Sons, Elmac theatre. Maple Rapids. Mich. — Small town patronage. THE DESERT OUTLAW, with Buck Jones. — A good Western which pleased. The jump into the river on horseback was very neatly done. Six reels. — Conrad Peterson, Royal theatre, Saxon, Wis. — Small town patronage THE WARRENS OF VIRGINIA, with a special cast.— If a lot of exhibitors knew what Fox was putting out this season they would not think of being buncoed by Paramount’s “Wagon.” Here’s a real special. Seven reels. — Sam Blair, Majestic theatre, Belleville, Kans. — General patronage. THE CYCLONE RIDER, with a special cast. — A knockout. The best comedy drama of the season. Fighting on high buildings ; a forty-mile wild ride from a garage to a race track, and the auto race itself is enough to make any person shout. Play it by all means. Seven reels. — Conrad Peterson, Royal theatre, Saxon, Wis. — Small town patronage. HELL’S HOLE, with Buck Jones. — Real good entertainment. Plenty of action, some good prison scenes. Leaves one to imagine quite a bit at the end, but at that it is okay because It’s different. Did not draw quite as good as I expected. Worth very little more, if any, than his program pictures. Six reels. — H. M. Retz, Strand theatre. Lament, Iowa. — Small town patronage. OH YOU TONY! with Tom Mix.— A typical Mix picture that takes well. A comedy drama in which Tom Mix and Tony do very good work. Have received practically new prints on all of the latest pictures from Fox. Seven reels. — C. O. Peterson. Royal theatre, Saxon. Wis. — General patronage. SOUTH SEA LOVE, with Shirley Mason.— About the average Mason picture. Nothing big but they will get by. Print fair. Five reels. — H. M. Retz. Strand theatre. Lament, Iowa. — Small town patronage. AGAINST ALL ODDS, with Buck Jones. — Another Jones picture that pleased all who came out to see it. Weather conditions were bad, as it was very cold, but this did not stop Buck’s admirers from coming out. None of his fans were disappointed in this one. Five reels. — Chas. E. Barber, Electric theatre, Tilden, 111.— Small town patronage. SOFT BOILED, with Tom Mix.— This is a pretty good comedy drama, some liked it very much and the ones that like Tom in the Westerns better did not care for it so much. Eight reels. — John Aden, Rialto theatre, Terril, la. — General patronage. COMING
