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

Garrison, N. D. — General patronage. AFTER THE BALL: Special cast — Great picture and a good lesson. — C. E. McClain. Liberty theatre, Tryon, Okla. — General patronage. NAPOLEON AND JOSEPHINE: Special cast — Rotten. Will not draw anybody. Don’t show it unless you tie up with the school and have them sell tickets in advance. Ran two days to fair business. — George J. Mahowald, Alhambra NATIONAL SCREEN SERVICE /wc. NEW YORK CHICAGO LOS ANGELES theatre. Garrison, N. D. — General patronage. NAPOLEON AND JOSEPHINE: Special cast — This picture is a real good picture for those who have studied history and know how to follow it, but as an educational picture it is not explanatory enough. I must report that this did not draw as I expected it would. It needs a good comedy to put it over. Seven reels. W. J. Shoup, De Luxe theatre, Spearville, Kans. — Small town patronage. First National A THIEF IN PARADISE: Ronald ColemanOne of the very best. First National has a winner here. Both magnificent and entertaining. Eight reels. — Mrs. Frank Paul, Marvel theatre, Carlinville. 111. — General patronage. CLASSMATES: Richard Barthelmess — A real picture, best this star has made since ‘‘Tol’able David.” Should please any audience. Seven reels. Henry W. Gauding. Lincoln theatre. Pittsburg, Pa. — Neighborhood patronage. IDLE TONGUES: Special cast — If you can think back to the old Triangle days when we got a nice juicy melo-drama about every week, you will then have the straight dope on this thing. Not convincing, just so overdone it is sickening. Intelligent class will not tolerate this sort of entertainment. Business average. Six reels. — W. H. Brenner, Cozy theatre, Winchester, Ind. — General patronage. SO BIG: Colleen Moore — A picture that follows the book perfectly, and the best acting ever done by our wonderful little star, Colleen. I still must admit I like her best in comedy roles.— Mrs. Frank Paul, Marvel theatre, Carlinville, 111. — Geneial patronage. HER NIGHT OF ROMANCE: Constance Talmadge — This is the best picture we have ever run with Constance in. Our patrons did not hesitate to say they would come eveiY night if they could see a picture like that. Connie almost lost her pull here, but she sure made a good come back on this one. This is not silly, and not too heavy to please anyone. — E. L. Wharton, Orpheum theatre, Glasgow, Mont. — General patronage. THE SILENT WATCHER: Bessie Love— First half of this picture is good, balance not so much, as the story becomes somewhat maudlin. Would have been much better in six reels, and dragging in the unknown soldier is mighty far fetched and rather poor taste. Eight reels. — Henry W. Gauding. Lincoln theatre, Pittsburg, Pa.— Neighborhood patronage. INEZ FROM HOLLYWOOD: Anna Q. Nilsson — A very good picture of sister love. It made some of the soft-hearted ones weep. Exhibition value too high. — Mrs. Frank Paul, Marvel theatre. Carlinville, 111. — General patronage. LOVE’S WILDERNESS: Corinne Griffith— Very good picture. Every one liked this one and, for the cold weather, business held up to average. — Caldwell theatre, St. Joe, Mich. — Mixed patronage.
