Description:
In late-1916, Exhibitor's Trade Review entered a crowded market of weekly motion picture trade publications that already included the Moving Picture World, Motion Picture News, Exhibitor's Herald, and Motography, along with theatre and vaudeville-oriented papers that covered film, such as Variety, the Billboard, and the New York Clipper. To gain market share and differentiate itself from competitors, Exhibitor's Trade Review pursued a variety of tactics -- some constructive (gathering allies among exhibitor organizations), others destructive (smearing the reputations of competing trade papers and certain film companies that refused to buy advertising). Despite the behind-the-scenes controversies, though, Exhibitor's Trade Review appears to have, in the words of Alan Gevinson, 'established itself legitimately in its role as advisor to and fighter for the independent exhibitor.' All the issues that mattered to independent exhibitors were covered, including censorship, taxes, distributor contracts, piano accompaniment, and, of course, the films. In 1926, Exhibitor's Trade Review ceased weekly publication and only offered the daily service, Exhibitor's Daily, which was acquired a few years later by Martin Quigley as he attempted to consolidate the industry's trade papers under his control. -- Eric Hoyt, 2014

Peerless lamps are rugged and massive to insure durability and everlasting service; Peerless precision is maintained as your guarantee of perfect mechanical operation. The Peerless Optical system is much more than an ordinary reflector and condenser combination, for it represents the application of an optical principle that makes possible the greatest utilization of light from the arc center; its superiority is evidenced by the vastly greater screen illumination obtained by the Peerless Reflector Arc Lamp. Peerless Reflector Arc Lamps have been adapted as standard equipment by the largest theatre circuits in America and the actual number of lamps in operation more than doubles the total of all other makes combined. To obtain Peerless screen results Peerless Lamps must be used so — Why Experiment? "PEERLESS" ASSURES PERFECT . SCREEN DEFINITION WRITE FOR LITERATURE— J. E. McAuley Mfg. Co. 552-54 W.
