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

The whole world has jazzmania—and likes it. The title alone makes of this Mae Murray picture unbeatable material for exploitation. The illustrations on this page show how easy a few earlyrun exhibitors found it to extend their advertising field beyond newspaper and billboard space — without cost. This is proof unquestionable that when a showman books Jazzmania he books the goodwill of every progressive merchant in his town. The main street becomes one long lobby display. Be sure your theatre is the one to benefit by it. Book JAZZMANIA now. Ill ae Murray m ROBERT Z. LEONARD'S MAE MURRAY JAZ ZMANI A m Jlistribufod by MTTTPn PICTURES Xrll-J J.
