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

D» W» GRIFFITH / %One Occiiirig TUgfvb* Tying Up Your Public With Your Picture Some pictures float along on the screen with a good cast, good photography; an interesting story — apparently a fine photoplay. But the story drifts away from your audience. The picture and your public don't get together. The Real Audience Picture Is the one that reaches right out at the beginning and pulls your audience right up into the screen; makes them go WITH the action in the story straight through the picture. What happens to the characters also happens to your audiences. Your people then don't just WATCH something! They actually LIVE something! When you give your patrons one of these pictures, you not only entertain them, but you put something NEW into their lives. That's the kind of audience picture you will get in D. W.
