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

The year's greatest novelty i t THRILL AFTER THRILL! The strangest love story ever told — the tale of the outlaws' floating island in the mysterious Sargasso Sea — the weird, whirling pool in the North Atlantic, whose deadly currents drag ships and men into its maw, imprisoning them in a living death. They'll thrill to — The chase and capture of an escaped convict. The wrecking of a ship in a terrific storm and the overturning of life boats. The daring rescue of a girl from the waves. Imprisonment of two men and a girl on a doomed ship. Marooned on the isle from which ships never return. The battle of two mighty men, with a girl as the price. The tolling of the bells that summon a woman to wed a new husbandThe plot to flee and the battle with the outlaws. A man's high plunge into the sea from a rotting hulk. Fugitives, escaping in submarine, buried alive under water, caught under a mass of seaweed. And — the shooting of a man from the submarine's torpedo tube to risk death from sharks and drow ning to cut away the 'weeds.
