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

In booking photoplays, then, the wise exhibitor always bears quality in mind, at the same time keeping sight of the box office value of the pictures he considers. The William Russell series has these two important factors. Every agency for high class motion picture production has been used in this series. The star, William Russell, is one of the screen's great drawing cards. Eight five reel productions, each a distinct subject, comprise the series, which may be booked at any one of the 68 Mutual exchanges.
