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

Over in a corner of the lobby there meets the Hollywood Mystic 27, theatrical magicians engaged in mystifying each other. ... A bejewelled woman says that before she checks in she must inspect the roof kennels, which are the hotel’s pride, “for little Launcelot is very sensitive and must have pleasant surroundings.” . . . Jim Tully and James Cruze, two ex-hoboes who have found fame and power in Hollywood, debating the merits of the oil paintings in the lobby. ... In a corner, a Spaniard, a Chinese, a Frenchman, an Argentine and an Englishman — all drawn here by the lure of pictures — find that they agree about only one thing — that Charlie Chaplin is indeed a reputed fellow. ... A farmer from the Middle West complains to the hotel clerk that the view from his room, combining ocean and mountains, parks and cities, radio stations and studios, is so “derned inter
