Description:
Motion Picture News was the leading film industry trade journal during the 1920s. Founded in 1908 as a counterweight to the dominant Moving Picture World, the News was the voice for the independent, non-Trust, producers. Later Motion Picture News expanded its coverage to the entire industry, supporting the independent exhibitor with objective film reviews, summaries of programs at theatres across the nation, activities of regional exchanges in the cities with regional exchanges, and excellent coverage of the coming of sound and screenings and stage shots at the major New York City theatres. -- David Pierce, 2013

Todav there are few stars among the ladies who "are as strongly intrenched in the hearts of the public. Norma, under the M-G-M banner, has a career ahead oi her that will be ever more brilliant with each new picture. The secret o t Norma Shearer's acknowledged success may be found in her trueblue American beauty, her simplicity in acting technique, and in the vehicles which the astute Metro GV^wjwMayer studio organization selects for her. Miss Shearer's first photoplay in the new season will be "The Bridal Night. " It is a modern, breezy, sympathetic, but not over sentimental, comedy ot an airy quality that from time immemorial has lieen a source ot pleasure to those out front. One ot the big specials that is destined to rank with "The Big Parade" and "Ben-Hur" is "Old Heidelberg" which Ernst Lubitsch is now directing at the Metro-C/'oA/iiTw-Mayer studios. Miss Shearer and Ramon Novarro are co-starred in this great screen, work, which is bound to add manv points to the stock ot all players concerned. J
