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

MERMAID COMEPJjM BEST From EXHIBITORS HERALD I Pest of the Storm Country (Educational) You've seen burlesques and burlesques, but you haven't seen nothin' yet, until you see "Pest pf the Storm Country." It's a Mermaid, made by Jack White under the direction of Robert Kerr, and it's a wow! It has Louise Fazenda, Harry Gribbon, Jack Lloyd and some other Mermaid funmakers in it, and all in all is about the funniest thing that has been produced by this or any other company. Louise has a persistent loyer, who plays various musical instruments, rain or shine, and hangs around her cottage door. Finally, one night, when an awful storm comes up. she invites him to stay all night, and while she's fixing the spare room in the shed he runs home for his pajamas. Not new. No. But funny. And such a storm. Twice as many trees fall as in "One Exciting Night" and the wind blows twice as hard. Louise's pet dog just floats through the air at the end of its leash. There are plenty of laughs in this two-reeler. Our advice is to hop out and get it. And advertise it. %yfflONALLY ADVERTISED EDUCATIONAL FILM EXCHANGES, Inc., E. W. HAMMONS, President
