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 MAX FIGMAN Supported by Miss Lolita Robertson in The Truth Wagon IN FIVE PARTS A Brilliant Comedy Drama of Newspaper life, love and politics, from the play by Hayden Talbot — showing a Metropolitan daily in the making.
