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

Good satisfaction. — Bert Silver, Silver Family theatre, Greenville, Mich. — General patronage. PERFECT CRIME: Clive Brook— 20%. January 21-22. Fair program picture. Comments divided under average business. Sold to us for a special. Would have done good as program picture one day. — Luve B. Harrell, Lyric theatre, Waycross. Ga. — General patronage. TYRANT OF RED GULCH: Tom Tyler— Good little Western for Saturday. Tom and his gang draw just as much as Mix for me. Six reels. — Samuel Jackson, Jackson's theatre, Flomaton, Ala. — Small town patronage. KING COWBOY: Tom Mix— While this picture byno stretch of the imagination could be called a "Western," the Saturday night bunch seemed to find it amusing and turned out in goodly numbers. The plot is laid somewhere in Arabia or "East of Suez." — P. G. Vaughan, Sun theatre. Kansas City, Mo. — General patronage. THE AIR LEGION: Special east— A good picture based cn the U. S. air mail. Not so much air stuff, but they will like it. Seven reels. — P. G. Vaughan. Sun theatre. Kansas City, Mo. — General patronage. STOCKS AND BLONDES: Skeets GallagherVery good program picture. Not much of a drawing card. New print. Seven reels. — Samuel Jackson, Jackson's theatre, Fljmaton. Ala. — Small town patronage. ROUGH RIDIV RED: Buzz Barton— Not as good as "The Bantam Cowboy." which was really great ! The old medicine show is brought to life in this number and considerable footage is used in demon strating the fact t'nr.t Buzz and Frank Rice are comedians. Lacked the note of sincerity that has been evident in other efforts of this fine young Western star. Six reels. — H. H. Hedberg, Amuse-U theatre, Melville. La. — General patronage. HIT OF THE SHOW: Special cast — Some said good, others said fair, and quite a number did not like it at all. It is well directed, well acted and the photography is splendid. Personally thought it was fair entertainment, but it was far from being a special. Gold Bond on F B O pictures is far from being a guarantee that they are so greatly superior to program pictures as to warrant a larger rental. Seven reels. — H. H. Hedberg. Amuse-U theatre, Melville, La. — General patronage. DESERT LOVE: Olive Borden — 40%. January 23. Proved to be an unusually good sheik picture. Plenty of action. Entire cast rood. Noah Beery fine. Seven reels. — T. W. Cannon, Majestic theatre. Greenfield. Tenn. — Small town patronage. GANG WAR: Special cast— 51%. January 12. A good gang picture. Business off on account of flu. Seven reals. — T. W. Cannon. Majestic theatre, Greenfield, Tenn. — Small town patronage. Tiffany-Stahl MARRIAGE BY" CONTRACT: Patsy Ruth Miller — 80%. January 20. A mighty good drawing card. It will make any exhibitor some money. The title is timely and the acting first class. No smut in it either. 1 hope Tiffany won't put out any more smutty stuff. Seven reels. — S. A. Hayman. Lyda theatie. Grand Island, Neb. — General patronage. THE CAVALIER: Special cast — 80%. January 13. This is a real feature, as clear as a whistle. Dick, to my way of thinking, is better than Douglas Fairbanks with his stunts. It will stand a raise in admission. Eight reels. — S. A. Hayman, Lyda theatre. Grand Island, Neb. — General patronage. TROPICAL NIGHTS: Patsy Kuth Miller— January 19. A fair one for Tiffany and will please. Seven reels. — Ted Russell. Russell theatres. Matherville and Orin, 111. — General patronage. TROPICAL NIGHTS: Patsy Ruth Miller— 50%. January 6. Pretty good, it will please, a little overdrawn in places, but it is enjoyable. Six reels. — S. A. Hayman. Lyda theatre. Grand Island. Neb. — General patronage. MAN IN HOBBLES: Special cast— January 22. Just a fair comedy, and as are most all of Tiffany's, it is very slow and poor directing. — Ted Russell, Russell theatres, Matherville and Orin, HI. — General patronage. A WOMAN AGAINST THE WORLD: Special cast — 15%. January 24. Good, but a perfect flop at the box office. Print and photography very good. Six reels. — G. O. Tunstall. Midway theatre. Martinsville. Va. — General patronage. Universal UNCLE TOM'S CABIN : Special cast— 98%. January 17-18-19. This is a picture I would have been glad to show my patrons even if I had not made anything on it. but I did do a satisfactory business. The receipts were about like those for "The Big Parade" and "Ben Hur." I would have broken all
