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

presents BEN TORPlNw KATHRYN M-GOIRE in THE SHRIEK OF ARABY Direction by J. J^ichard (Jones Five Reels of Roars! From The Exhibitor Playing To Capacity " 'The Shriek of Araby' is a picture which urges an exhibitor to express his genuine appreciation," said H. B. Breckwedel, of the Symphony Theatre, Los Angeles, in the fourth week of the run of this Sennett comedy. 'And this expression is not influenced simply by the box-office success of The Shriek.' That is, of course very gratifying, but it also is very gratifying to sit in my office and listen to shrieking audiences acclaiming their approval of a picture as they are doing in the case of 'The Shriek of Araby.' It would be superfluous to wish The Shriek' the same success throughout the country. That is already assured.'' Los Angeles Critics Praise <(The Shriek" "Ben Turpin has never done anything funnier,'' — Express. "It is a whole crowd of shrieks. If you want to laugh and forget your troubles, see this Shriek.'" — Times. "It is a shriek of mirth." — Examiner. "Ben Turpin's picture is all the title implies. It is a shriek." — Herald. A Laugh In Every Foot Of Five Reels.
