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

January 31, 1925 EXHIBITORS HERALD 13 CONTROL YOUR LIGHTING WITH “DIAMOND H” “Diamond H” Remote Control Switches needs but a single experience to demonstrate the remarkable advantage of this type of control — ” FINKELSTEIN & RUBEN The Type “G” Double Throw Switch affords a ready solution for the control of any load or lighting circuit where two different sources of supply are available and where current interruption would form a hazard. The Double Throw Remote Control Switch will perform any of the functions ordinarily obtained by hand control of a double throw switch. The control is always connected to _ the emergency service, the operation being full automatic. The armature of the Relay drops by gravity upon failure of the normal service and closes a set of contacts which transfers the load from the normal to the emergency service. Upon resumption of the normal service the armature of the Relay is pulled upwards, connecting a set of contacts, which restores the Switches to the normal position ; i. e., the load is again connected to the normal service. The consumption of the continuous current solenoid is about IS watts. Type “G” Double Throw Combinations are furnished on slate bases with Switches and Relays mounted as a unit on a metal subbase, furnished with either front or back connected lugs for remounting on panel or switchboard.
