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

Clifford, general manager of "Exhibitors Herald and Moving Picture World," is in charge of the staff of HERALD-WORLD editorial men at the Toronto convention this week, which includes Earnest A. Rovelstad, news editor. Since its inception in 1920, members of the MPTOA have looked to the HERALD-WORLD for the most complete and accurate acount of its conventions, both reportorially and pictorially. This year will be no exception. Mr. Clifford has not missed a convention of the MPTOA since its foundation at Cleveland, and his thorough familiarity with organization E s CUVord problems and his acquaintance with exhibitor leaders insure the HERALD-WORLD of again having the most complete, the most authoritive and the most interesting story of the national exhibitor convention.
