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

Presents SECRETS OF LIFE The Marvels of Another World As seen through the microscope by a new process just perfected by LOUIS H. TOLHURST From Moving Picture World HIGHLY ENTERTAINING AND GREAT BOXOFFICE ATTRACTION The Secrets of Life, one-reel subjects * * * showing the life of the ant, the spider and the bee, are just about the finest short reel subjects that could be placed on any program. Be sure to book these, for they surely hit on "all six." While the subject matter is highly scientific, it has betn filmed by Louis Tolhurst in such a manner chat the youngsters in the infant class get fully as much enjoyment out of them as a class of thiroughly dyed-in-the-wool biologists or a group of tired business men. In reviewing scientific pictures it may seem rather strange to say that the comedy touches are good, but in witnessing the microscopic views ol the bee, the spider and the ant there is laugh after laugh * * * The Secrets of Life mark a grand new epoch in showing what the scretn can do for science.
