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

GLADISH in Toronto Executives from Canada and the United States attended on January 17 when Audio Pictures, Ltd., Toronto, formally opened its new studio, a 20,000 square foot structure complete with up-to-date equipment. According to Arthur Gottlieb, president, Audio Pictures, Ltd., plans to launch its production program with two features yearly, using Hollywood stars, the company's own technicians and Canadian backgrounds. The timeliness of the opening was stressed at a party given by Mr. Gottlieb. The Canadian industry, through J. J. Fitzgibbons of Famous Players Canadian Corporation, has just agreed in principle with the Dominion Government on a plan to stimulate domestic production of certain types of pictures, possibly through subsidiary units of Hollywood companies, in an effort to ease the country's dollar crisis. The audio plant now is ready for development. While it does not compare in expanse with major American studios, it is well furnished in all detail. An area has been established for a 100-foot sound stage, 22 feet in height. There are dressing, makeup, script, recording and rehearsal rooms as well as three screening theatres, an art department, animation section, commissary. 36 MOTION PICTURE HERALD, JANUARY 24, 1948
