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

March 5, 1923 985 a Picture Chicago says: PRISCILLA DEAN is splendid in this! Here is the best picture the Universal studios have turned out in some time, and one of the most vivid and entertaining productions we have seen this season. Priscilla Dean is an actress whose ability seems to grow with each succeeding picture, and I am sure you will be one of her admirers after you have seen this picture. CHICAGO EVENING POST AGAIN Priscilla Dean proves her right to the title " one of the screen's best actresses." She furnished the silver 1 sheet with another brilliant bit of impersonation that will live to her credit. As a photoplay it is mighty interesting. CERTAINLY you are going to love Miss Dean. The sets and scenery are splendid. So is the acting. So is the direction. CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE BRISTLES with the dramatic! A climax that is suspenseid to the last degree. Fine entertainment for any screen. \ strong fast-moving story that should jar any audience ivith the force of its appeal and its excellent characterizaions. EXHIBITORS HERALD "Tie pleasure is alTVburs
