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

MOTION PICTURE NEWS 117 Edison Features Are Features The Favorites Mabel Trunnelle and Augustus Phillips in the TENSE 3-ACT FEATURE "With Bridges Burned" From the famous story by Rex Beach. Released in regular service Friday, May 7th — 3000 feet. A revival of the successful Edison film of the same name "With Bridges Burned" is a feature, full of the finest impulses and worthiest motives thai can actuate a man. It thrills with the intensity of devoted man and wife, stricken in fortune, separated on their wedding day and doing deeds as desperate in self denial as any physical daring. To see so fine — so worthy — a picture is to feel that the world is a better place than we thought. Mabel Trunnelle plays again the same role of the little unselfish wife whose royal courage faces feats that man draws back from — plays it with that unfailing sympathetic appeal that her winsome personality always evokes. While Augustus Phillips places upon the screen some of the finest work of his career in the devoted husband half crazed in his night-and-day race against time and a powerful conspiracy of grafters. Edison features embody all the entertainment, all the "punch" which plays of real power have — they typify to an extent well registered on the cash register that it pays to play "features of strength — not length" — Edison Features in the Regular Service. The Funniest Cartoons on the Market — by Raoul Barre "Cartoons in the Kitchen" must be seen to be appreciated. The hearty laughs that can sweep over an audience viewing these pictures is unbelievable. A new feature — they move while he draws them— darned funny, indeed. Released Tuesday, May 4th— 1000 feet. "Jack Kennard, Coward," winner of the Edison College Contest. Released Wednesday, May 5th— 1000 feet. "A Sad Dog's Story," a good dog story by Lee Arthur, famous dramatist, featuring Herbert Prior. Released Saturday, May 8th— 1000 feet. ^ZTZT* THOMAS A. EDISON ^%omat(X€dUon^. 275 Lakeside Avenue Orange, N.
