Description:
'A reviewing service free from the influence of film advertising... devoted chiefly to the interests of the exhibitors.' From 1919 to 1962, HARRISON'S REPORTS served as a watchdog for the interests of U.S. independent movie theaters. Founder and editor P.S. Harrison used his 4-page sheet (occasionally 8-pages) to praise films that he considered good for theaters and audiences and to excoriate bad pictures, 'immoral' theater operators, films on 16mm and TV, and any company or policy that made life more difficult for exhibitors. -- Eric Hoyt, 2014

First look at the Release Day Chart under the column of the company whose weeklies you show. You will notice that there are little numbers by the side of the days. The meaning of these numbers is as follows : Newsweeklies are released by all the companies in New York on Saturdays and on Wednesdays. The issue of any company is one day old in New York on the day of its release, whether such day is Saturday or Wednesday. But it takes time for a print to reach another zone. To reach Dallas, for example, it takes four (or three days), by train. Naturally you cannot consider a Newsweekly one day old on the day of its release when it reaches that zone four days later. The practice of each company has been to consider a Newsweekly one day old on the day of its arrival and release in a particular zone. The little number by the side of each day in the Chart indicates how many days later than the New York Release Date a particular issue may be considered one-day old in a particular zone. Suppose you desire to find out how old is a Saturday release of the Universal News in Portland, Oregon. Look in the Saturday Column of the Universal News in the Release Day Chart; run down the column until you reach the line opposite Portland. The day given is Wednesday, and the figure is “4.” Accordingly, the Saturday issue of the Universal News, which is one day old in the New York zone on that day, is one day old in Portland on Wednesday ; that is, four days later. Suppose you want to find out how many days later the Wednesday release of the Pathe News is released in Los Angeles. Run down the Wednesday release column of the Pathe News until you come to the Los Angeles line. The day given is Sunday, and the figure, “4.” In other words, the Wednesday issue of the Pathe News is released in Los Angeles on Sunday following, on which day it is one day old. Metrotone News No. 254 wdll be released in New York Saturday, April 2, and in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Memphis, San Antonio and Montreal two days later; that is, on Monday. Since two days after April 2 is April 4, Metrotone News No. 254 will be (or was) one day old on Monday, April 4. Fox Movietone News No. 67 will be released in the New York Zone on Wednesday, May 11. Since the Wednesday issue of this Company’s News reaches Montreal Friday, that is, two days later, this issue will be one day old in that city on Friday, May 13. Paramount News No. 77 will be released in the New York Zone on Saturday, April 23. In the Seattle Zone, this News will be one day old two days later, that is, on Monday, April 25. You may use the same method in determining the age of other newsweeklies, in other zones.
