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

A process for amalgamating and joining together two printed colloid films which consists in saturating each printed colloid film separately with a liquid cement, containing a gluing agent of a colloid character, a hygroscopic agent, an acid and an insolubilizing agent, drying each saturated film separately; superimposing the two printed saturated and dried films with the printed face of one film upon the printed face of the other film; clamping and squeezing the two films together; applying heat to melt the cement in each film and cause the cement in the two films to fuse together; cooling the cement thus forming a temporary, but still fusible joint between the two films ; and finally converting the fusible temporary joint into a non-fusible permanent joint by the gradual action of the hardening and insolubilizing agent contained in the cement thus producing a single film the two parts of which are permanently and indissolubly united with the printed images inside the film.
