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

^vM posies *Siat I need? Ibwr #ox Office is Paging You, zMr. Exhibitor I T may be that you have signed for a series of 103 Super-Specials. When is a Super-Special a bum picture? Answer: 102 times out of 103. Three elements make up greatness in a picture so far as you are concerned. FIRST is quality, that arouses tributes from even the hardest-boiled critics. SECOND is human appeal, that sends your audience out satisfied. THIRD is profit. No matter how much of the other two elements the picture has, if you cannot make a profit, the picture is poor so far as you are concerned, PREFERRED PICTURES nave captured the critics and pleased the public. AND they are sold at a fair price. B. P. SCHULBERG presents RICH MEN'S WIVES SHADOWS THORNS AND ORANGE BLOSSOMS THE HERO POOR MEN'S WIVES ARE YOU A FAILURE?
