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

yhe Critics predicted 45,000 agreed HD/II reach 2,500,000 readers before release date 'Danny himselp said, editorially, in After completing a record week's run at the beautiful EASTMAN THEATRE, Rochester, N. Y., manager William Tait, Jr., wrote the following: 14 the picture was well received by our audiences. We played to more than 45,000 people on the week. You can certainly feel gratified with your two releases this year. Such pictures are a credit to the industry as a whole." — and it's hit No. 9 of the BIG 10 hits! Nothing can stop Daily US! A Real Picture "The Eternal City." The first Fitzmaurice to be produced by Sam Goldwyn. What a box-office! A great love story splendidly told; a splendid cast, and the settings of Italy. With Mussolini, the Premier, appearing in the picture. True, it isn't the wonderful story that Hall Caine wrote — it has been modernized with the Fascisti in it and the world war and other things. But the appeal is still there — the conflict between David and Bonelli for Roma with love triumphant, and some mob effects with the Coliseum of Rome as the setting — magnificient stuff. If you can't do business with this one there's something wrong — with you. It's Big! It's Tremendous! With such a story; such settings; such a director and such a cast — "The Eternal City" was sure to have been a Knock-out !
