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

July 22, 1916 MOTION PICTURE NEWS 379 The News Reel That Gets There Most moving picture theatres put news reels in the class of "fillers" — something that their patrons like but would not come especially to see. That idea belongs to the dead past. The HEARST INTERNATIONAL NEWS PICTORIAL is not a yWtr" but a "FEATURE." Engaged in its production is the greatest news gathering organization in the world — the biggest and livest cainera staff in the world— and the quickest service in the world. Hearst International News Pictorial The local boat race and the firemen's parade are the old standbys of the ordinary news reel. There's no credit in that. Anybody with a camera and carfare can produce that kind of news reel. But When the big thing happens — when the battleship goes down — ^when our troops meet the Mexicans — when faraway, startling news flashes across the world— you'll find it in the HEARST INTERNATIONAL NEWS PICTORIAL. That's why live exhibitors are booking this semi-weekly feature. It's there with the goods — a genuine twice-a-week newspaper of the films. P. s.— We are advertising HEARST INTERNATIONAL NEWS PICTORIAL to ten million people. Your patrons are among them.
