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

Now read what the critics in the greatest newspapers in New York say of them: “Here Triangle Triumphed.” —New \ork Herald. “The best programme ever seen on the screen hereabouts.” — New York Sun. "Triangle Films real sensation. ‘The Lamb’ outdoes the ‘Birth of a Nation’ in its thrills.” — New York Tribune. “Superb photography and excellent music marked the opening at the Knickerbocker.” — New York World. “Elaborately arranged and splendidly mounted, ‘The Iron Strain’ brought out the most generous applause.” — New York Telegram. “The three pictures illustrate the highest point yet attained in the art of motion pictures, taken and directed by three of the greatest men in the picture industry.” — New York Sun. “It is films like ‘The Lamb’ which will best enable motion picture producers to compete with drama at the same scale of prices.” — New York Evening Post The same plays that appeared in New York may be seen in Chicago when the Studebaker Theatre opens on October 2nd, and in Philadelphia when the Chestnut Street Opera House opens on October 5th. i„ ’ jjT r • w • 1 9 1 jiu \ m Jf a w Til * 1 A .
