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

i6 THE MOTION PICTURE NEWS C. J. HITE. President Personal From C. J. Hite President Thanhouser Film Corp. New Rochelle, N. Y. To the Exhibitors of America : Our recent announcement of the coming of the stupendous production, "The Million Dollar Mystery," has so overwhelmed us with inquiries from exhibitors that I take this means of notifying theatre managers everywhere that arrangements have been perfected for releasing even a greater number of reels than originally planned — I hope sufficient to take care of the tremendous demand. The producing of "The Million Dollar Mystery" is, by far, the greatest task ever undertaken by any film manufacturer. You have, no doubt, heard that the Chicago Tribune, and 200 other leading newspapers, will print this remarkable story by Harold MacGrath, scenario by Lloyd Lonergan, simultaneously with its appearance in the theatres and that a capital prize of $10,000.00 in cash will be paid for the best solution of this mystery. "The Million Dollar Mystery" will succeed the Kathlyn Series. It will appear in the newspapers in weekly installments starting June 28th. First release, June 22nd. "The Million Dollar Mystery" will be released through the Syndicate Film Corporation, R1421, 71 W. 23rd Street, New York. Exhibitors should write at once for information. Thanhouser releases will continue to be regular features of the Mutual Program. "The Million Dollar Mystery" may be obtained regardless of what program you may be using. This announcement is made to assure exhibitors that we are using all our tremendous resources to supply every theatre manager who has applied for these films and to make "The Million Dollar Mystery" the most successful motion-picture production that ever has been brought out. Truly yours, C. J. HITE, President. Thanhouser Film Corporation NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK Head European Offices Thanhouser Films, Ltd., London, W.
