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

USE CARBON TRIM RECOMMENDED FOR YOUR PROJECTION EQUIPMENT. The Victory Carbon trims indicated in the above table were established by comprehensive laboratory and field tests to ascertain the best results obtainable in all types of equipment. OPERATE CARBONS AT SPECIFIED ARC CURRENT. Better projection and greater economy are obtained when recommended arc currents are maintained. The maximum allowable arc current is stamped on each Victory Carbon at the left of the trade-mark. CHECK FEED RATIO CAREFULLY. Changes of arc current alter the ratio of burning rate be tween positive and negative carbons. On lamps equipped with adjustable feed and formerly operated above 45 amperes arc current, this ratio should be adjusted to meet the new current conditions. A bulletin describing operation of the new Victory High Intensity Carbons is available for distribution and will be sent promptly upon request. SAVE T E COPPER Most of the copper used for plating copper coated projector carbons drops to the floor of the lamp house when the carbons are burned. Continue to save these copper drippings and turn them over to your supply dealer as designated by our government. NATIONAL CARBON COMPANY, INC.
