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

"Poor Men's Wives" TANDARD FILM LABORATORIES congratulate B P. Schulberg upon the excellence of the Al Lichtman attraction, "Poor Men's Wives11. The photographic artistry of Karl Struss and the directorial genius of Gasnier are combined in this picture to exemplify the higher ideals for which the motion picture industry is striving. It is a worthy companion to ' 1 Thorns and Orange Blossoms 1 1 , 11 The Hero11, and other recent Schulberg Lichtman productions. ICTURES of this character raise the whole standard of the screen. It has been both a pleasure and a privilege for STANDARD FILM LABORATORIES to co-operate with Mr. Struss in interpreting photographically Gasnier1 s conception of his theme in "Poor Men's Wives11. It is also gratifying to have Mr. Schulberg1 s complete confidence in our work of carrying all his' productions from camera to screen. Stcmc/arcf l£ln?
