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

Milton Be.an, Maple Leaf theatre. Mount Dennis, Thomson. — A wonderful Western picture, full of ON TIME, with Richard Talmadge. — It never appealed to me as anything extra, but it did seem to go over in good shape. — L. R. Ledou, Larabee Opera House, Isabel, Kan. — Small town patronage. ON TIME, with Richard Talmadge. — A good action picture that pleased the majority. Six reels. — Jno. Travis, Doric theatre, Erie, Kan. — Small town patronage. ON TIME, with Richard Talmadge, — Fair program picture. Some said good, others said bum. Nothing very startling about it. — J. E. Hubbell. Palace theatre, Worthington, Ind. — General patronage. ITCHING PALMS, with a special cast. — A very satisfactory entertainment. Comedy-drama. Heard a number of good comments. Price is right, too. F. B. O. have good pictures and you don’t have to wait two years to use them. "Fighting Blood” No. 3, second series, completed a very good program. Six reels. — O. K. Stablein, Star theatre, Alexandria, S. D. — General patronage. THE WHITE SIN, with Madge Bellamy. — A dandy program picture. Print good : photography good ; story good. Madge is most beautiful to look upon. Maybe she over-emotes a little in a spot or two, but this was overlooked by most everyone. This is a Palmer Photoplay : if that means anything to anyone. Seven reels. — Wm. E. Tragsdorf, Trags theatre. Neillsville, Wis. — Small town patronage. DAYTIME WIVES, with a special cast. — While this is not a small town picture, it pleased. — L. R. Ledou, Larabee Opera House, Isabel. Kan. — Small town patronage. DAYTIME WIVES, with a sitecial cast. — -Anyone taking any stock in the press sheet or lobby Ont., Canada. — Small town patronage. life and action from start to finish. Thomson and Silver King are great. Pleased 100 per cent. Print in perfect condition. Five reels. — L. Deyo. Miers theatre, Schoharie, N. Y.— General patronage. CAN A WOMAN LOVE TWICE? with Ethel Clayton. — We are very late in playing this picture. However, received dandy print and picture pleased and pulled a good crowd. F. B. O. at Dallas good bunch to deal with. Seven reels. — E. L. Fawks, Photo Phone theatre, Graford, Tex. — General patronage. THE FAIR CHEAT, with Dorothy Mackaill.— A pleasing program picture. Seven reels. — A. J. Milton Bean. Maple Leaf theatre. Mount Dennis, Ont., Canada. — Small town patronage. BY DIVINE RIGHT, with Elliot Dexter.— A very fine picture but it is not suited for the action fans. It has as fine a train wreck and as real as I ever saw. It has no comedy relief but we showed an Our Gang comedy, which made an excellent program. Seven reels. — W. J. Shoup, DeLuxe theatre, Spearville, Kan. — Small town patronage. BY DIVINE RIGHT, with Elliott Dexter.— Much too slow to suit the masses. Overdrawn theme ; did not please. — Jack Greene, New Geneseo theatre, Geneseo, 111. — Small town patronage. THE THIRD ALARM, with Ralph Lewis.— Good, clean story, well done, but couldn’t get them in and we did not realize cost. But it’s dead Winter here and could not blame the picture in any way. Perhaps we are all having extra expenses in Winter excess costs. Seven reels. — Bricker and Green, Gem theatre. Green on this one would be led to believe it to be a wow. Very thin entertainment. Six reels. — Wm. E. Tragsdorf, Trags theatre, Neillsville, Wis. — Small town patronage. THE DANGEROUS COWARD, with Fred Thomson. — All Thomson’s are good. We expect Two exciting scenes from “A Thief in Paradise,” distributed by First National, showing Alec B. Frances, Ronald Colman, Doris Kenyon, and Claude Gillingwater. River, Utah. — General patronage. THE MAILMAN, with Ralph Lewis.— Just a real good common sense picture that was liked by all. Seven reels. — H. E. Patrick, Strand theatre, Samson, Ala. — General patronage.
