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

April 17, 1915. MOTION PICTURE NEWS 17 A TEST TALK The real test of whether a service is good or not is the decision of one who views a great number of motion pictures. There perhaps is not a class who sees more pictures than the reviewers on the various papers. These newspaper men speak in the highest terms of Kr iter ion motion pictures. After viewing pictures day after day, as they do, it is really a great recommendation to have them tell you that they believe your two-reel subjects would make wonderful five-reel productions. This means that there is no padding in Kriterion motion pictures. Every foot is pictures, no stalling, or filling, but PICTURES. These reviewers for the newspapers consider the day they review Kriterion pictures, a relief from the monotony of looking at the everyday humdrum photoplays. Kriterion is deserving of its slogan "Decidedly Distinctive." Not only do the newspapers acknowledge this, but also the exhibitors who are using Kriterion Service. The tremendous strides Kriterion has taken and its great success is proof of this. Get in touch with any of these exchanges and let them tell you about Kriterion Service.
