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

Inset shows the battery of floodlights on the roof of a building across the street. The sign presents a vivid spectacle at night. A rain effect is accomplished by incandescent lighting. Below — The spectacular display at the Astor Theatre, New York, featuring "The Broadway Melody." The large letters spelling the title are in a variety of pastel shades and brighten from a very dim incandescence to blazing brightness — an effect accomplished by a device combining a dimmer and a flasher.
