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

W 18 all the agonizing, inane mush and slush, this one wins the fur lined ice box. Why waste a wonderful actor like Conway Tearle on such a story ? People walked out on this one and I don’t blame them. Just between you and I, don’t you think the title of this picture is wonderful ? Better lay it on the shelf and run a Gump or Mack Sennett comedy in its place. — T. F. McCoy, West CoastLangley’s Florence theatre, Pasadena, Cal. — High class patronage. ABRAHAM LINCOLN: George Billings — Absolutely one of the very best of all times. Holds house record of our new theatre. Any exhibitor who has not yet played or contracted for this should not overlook it. Easy tie-up with schools. Ten reels. — William Martin, Patriot theatre. Patriot, Ind. — Small town patronage. ABRAHAM LINCOLN: George Billings— The people who saw this said it was very good. But I could not get enough of them interested. I advertised it big but it did not have the appeal to my patrons. I think it is better for large towns. I know I lost enough to be more wise next time. Ten reels. — Leo M. Fay, Gem theatre, Socorro, N. M. — Small town patronage. MADONNA OF THE STREETS: Nazimova— Not so good. Eight reels.— Leslie Hables, Reel Joy theatre. King City, Cal. — Small town patronage. SECRETS: Norma Talmadge — Minus. Our patrons all claimed this to be Norma’s best. However, this only drew about 50 per cent of our regulars, so you can see we did not make a fortune on this. No fault of picture, however. Eight reels.— William Martin, Patriot theatre. Patriot, Ind. — Small town patronage. SECRETS: Norma Talmadge — Good picture: still not as big as they would have you believe. At the price I paid I made about $5.00 per day.— G. J. Ritter, Regent theatre, Bogota, N. J. — General patronage. SECRETS: Norma Talmadge — A splendid picture. Story good. Cast fine. — Bert Silver, Silver Family theatre. Greenville, Mich. — General patronage. THE ONLY WOMAN: Norma Talmadge. A very good feature but not up to Norma’s class. A strong story and well played but did not hardly fill the place Norma has made for herself in Hay Springs. Seven reels. — Horn & Morgan, Star theatre. Hay Springs, Neb. — Small town patronage. FOR SALE: Claire Windsor — Fine picture. Had some favorable comments on this. Seven reels. — J. W. Andresen, Lyric theatre, Walnut, Iowa. — General patronage. FOR SALE: Claire Windsor — Good average program picture that satisfied. Using it lor a benefit show for a fire company, cannot say as to its drawing power. — G. J. Ritter, Regent theatre, Bogota, N. J. — General patronage. SUNDOWN : Roy Stewart — My patrons did not care for this at all. Too many thousands of cattle. Now Is the Time ! Cecil B. DeMille presents ^LEATRICE JOY r^eiVcddindSoiig / 'N.
