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

"Enemies of Women11 is one of the most costly pictures ever made. In order to insure accuracy in the foreign scenes, the entire company spent six months in Europe. For the first time on the screen, the actual gambling halls of Monte Carlo are shown in action. Permission to take these was obtained from the government of Monaco by Senor Ibanez, who worked with the director, Alan Crosland, in the Monte Carlo scenes. There are also scenes actually taken in many beautiful locations on the Riviera and in Paris and Petrograd. The cast includes, besides Lionel Barrymore and Alma Rubens, the featured players, such well known actors as Pedro de Cordoba, Gareth Hughes, Gladys Hulette, William H. Thompson and William Collier, jr. A COSMOPOLITAN PRODUCTION Distributed by GoldwynCosmopolitan BY VICENTE BLASCO IBANEZ DIRECTED BY ALAN CROSLAND SETTINGS BY JOSEPH URBAN SCENARIO BY JOHN LYNCH
