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

12. MOTION PICTURE NEWS Vol. 12. No. 17. KKITERION Kriterion is being built on rock foundation and to build a lasting structure takes time. In their eagerness to fill the niche that Kriterion promises to fill, exchanges and exhibitors are wiring and writing us to hurry our release date. We, too, want action. But we want safe, unhurried, conservative action. When we make a promise we want to keep it. When we set a release date — that date will stand. And when we release the Kriterion Program, it will be BIG — in the character of its stars, productions and producers. Some of the greatest names of filmdom and the stage — names that ordinarily grace only a purely FEATURE program — will be on Kriterion one and two reel subjects. It will be a program that will start successfully and STAY successful. Kriterion makes no promise that it cannot substantiate. We invite investigation — personal — financial — and in every other way. Watch for Kriterion announcements— they will mean something. Kriterion Sales Corporation 1600 Broadway, N. Y. Be sure to mention ' MOTION PICTURE NEWS” when writing to advertisers.
