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

Page 118 Exhibitors Trade Review A Complete Circle of United Service AS far as we know, ours is the only organization in America equipped to offer all four of the services indicated in the above circle. Thus, for the first time in theatrical history, it becomes possible for promoters to make one firm responsible for their entire project — a vast saving in time, worry and money. Further, it is reasonable to conclude that a theater financed, designed, built and equipped by one responsible organization will be a better, more profitable, more economically-built theater than if it had been the work of several different interests, each seeking its own selfish advantage. And, most important of all, there will be an artistic and architectural unity about it all — a unity that will appeal to the theater-going public and win its admiration and its patronage. MANY years of practical experience stand back of the members and the staff of United Scenic Studios. We are creators of theaters that pay because we know what the public wants and the theater needs. We specialize on Houses of 1000 seats or larger — and offer suitable bond guaranteeing completion within time-limit set. Our financial connections enable use to assist in underwriting important projects — the larger the better. Write for particulars United Studios, Inc. L. P. Larsen, Managing Art-Director 30 W.
