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

Exploitation That's the Word For This One! A naked diver's battle with a man-eating shark 100 feet under water. A revengeful native tieing a knot in a diver's air-line under water to suffocate his enemy. A diver at the bottom of the sea caught in the clutch of a giant clam and held fast and deserted to die, while his fellow diver goes back to the surface to claim the girl. Divers exploring the jungles at the bottom of the ocean, and their discovery of a treasure chest laden with gold, gems and pearls. The use of a new helmet like the gas masks the soldiers used in France. This headpiece generates its own air doing away with cumbersome diving suits and air-pipe lines. Never before photographed in a motion picture. A greedy skipper's theft of the pearl treasures of a native chieftain. The uprising of the natives and their attack on the pearl fishermen. The weird native rites before going to the attack; the sound of the war drums; the war dance; the night attack on the village. The pearl fisherman's schooner running down a native boat while the naked diver is at the bottom of the bay stealing pearls.
