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

326 MOTION PICTURE NEWS Vol. 14. No. 3 M MUTUAL STAR PRODUCTIONS Helen Holmes Series With the announcement of the series of Mutual Star Productions featuring Helen Holmes, many exhibitors immediately arranged for booking, counting upon Miss Holmes' popularity and the class of her subjects to bring them ample returns. But with the release of the first picture, " Whispering Smith," the number of bookings increased, and when " Medicine Bend," the second production, was shown, the bookings took still another leap. These two subjects more than made good. They are of the type theatre patrons enjoy. And with their showing the number of Miss Holmes' followers grew. If past performances are any guide to the future, the Helen Holmes series is in every way a success. Exhibitors not yet showing it can share in this success by making booking arrangements for the entire five productions comprising the series at any one of the 68 Mutual exchanges.
