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

Good Bets You May Have Overlooked THE above is the title I would give this BOOKING GUIDE. The crying waste in this business is that the average picture doesn't get 40% distribution. It is swept to the shelf by the rush of productions. A good picture, new to your house and community, is just as new as a current release and just as good. It is really better because its value has been proven by a check-up of box-office reports (see the Booking Guide) and exploitation actually done and proven (see the Booking Guide). Look over this Booking Guide and you're sure to find many a good bet overlooked and full references to all the reviewing, box-office, exploitation material you need in the pages of MOTION PICTURE NEWS. It is the best first aid to the Box-Office in the business.
