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

Jackie's New One Sure This is Jackie's Best Audience Picture! This is Jackie's best picture. That's the consensus of opinion of all who have seen it. You know how the public loves Jackie now. They'll idolize him after this one. The appeal of "Daddy" is universal. It will delight every audience — and every man, woman and child. Heart interest — that's the one element that puts a picture over Big. "Daddy" has it in a degree few pictures have attained. There's pathos that will tug at the heartstrings; there's plenty of joyous laughter ; there's a beauty of sentiment that will make them all happy. They'll laugh ; they'll cry ; they'll go away happy. A rare combination. And added to this is Jackie's own pulling power as a star. Here's the stuff that makes sure-fire audience appeal. And that's what brings the money into the box office.
