Description:
Founded in 1915 by a Chicago printing company as a regional trade paper for Midwest exhibitors. In 1916, editor Martin Quigley bought out the owners, and over the next 15 years, he grew EXHIBITORS HERALD into one of the most important national, weekly trade papers in the film business. Quigley acquired MOTOGRAPHY in 1917 and MOVING PICTURE WORLD in 1927. In 1930, he acquired MOTION PICTURE NEWS and the new 'consolidated' publication became MOTION PICTURE HERALD. From the pulpit of his editorial page, Quigley preached the need to improve the motion picture industry and improve the quality of the films. He skillfully served as a mediator in disputes -- between distributors and exhibitors, between the film industry and the Catholic Church (Quigley was one of the architects of the Production Code). Quigley claimed that EXHIBITORS HERALD represented the 'independent exhibitor' and sections like 'What the Picture Did for Me?' certainly provided a forum for theater owners. But plenty of exhibitors viewed Quigley as a servant to the studios and large theater chains. In response, publications such as SHOWMEN'S TRADE REVIEW, INDEPENDENT EXHIBITORS FILM BULLETIN, HARRISON'S REPORTS, and BOX OFFICE were either formed or grew significantly in the years following Quigley's brief moment of consolidation in 1930. -- Eric Hoyt, 2014

July 6 , 1935 MOTION PICTURE HERALD 35 CHASE IN 207 PICTURE COMPANIES The extent of the worldwide motion picture holdings of the Chase National Bank of the City of New York — one of the world's largest financial institutions — was revealed in detail this week for the first time in advertisements inserted by the bank in financial newspapers in compliance with the requirements of the United States Banking Act of 1933 compelling the publication of reports of all affiliates of a national bank. Previously, Chase had reported to the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission ownership of 72 per cent of the Class A stock of Fox Film Corporation and General Theatres Equipment Corporation, Chase controlled, as owner of S6 per cent of the Fox Film Class B stock. Now it is revealed that Chase, through the Fox owner ship, controls or has substantial interests in some 207 motion picture producing, distributing and exhibiting corporations throughout the world, many of these, of course, being Fox Film subsidiaries or theatre subsidiaries of National Theatres Corporation. Reports as of March 50th, 193 5, of the companies listed below which under the terms of the Banking Act are declared to be affiliated with Chase, embrace only Chase's motion picture and theatre holdings. The bank has millions invested in numerous other industries. Reports of these affiliates are to be made separately by the bank.
