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

William Boyd The Idol of Bill Boyd has struck a note on the popularity scale that is music to the box-office. IG, he-man, human roles, that's Bill's meat. Bill gets his clothes soiled, his hands and face greasy — looks licked, sometimes — but they love him out front. Boyd typifies the worker, labor, industry, progress, as does no other star, and that's one mighty good reason why his acting and personality tug at the heart of Americans, builders. Boyd is a sure bet today — and he's gaining new legions of friends. They'd walk a mile to see Bill smile. Keep your eye on this Pathe star for the new season — watch him as the rookie cop, the hard-boiled leatherneck, the telephone linesman, the construction worker, the aviation mechanic. You'll be sitting pretty for a clean-up if you book the new product with Boyd in these two-fisted roles. Boyd achieved new heights of popularity in "Dress Parade". Paflie "BILL" BOYD scores a triumph as the ironworker in "Skyscraper".
