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 431 Kulee Features, Inc. 220 West 42nd Street New York City June 24th, 1916. Mr. R. M. VANDIVERT, Advertising Mgr., Motion Picture News, 729 Seventh Avenue, City. Dear Sir: It gives me great pleasure to extend to your publication a tribute that it justly deserves. In my twenty years' experience in the theatrical business, during which time I have handled publicity for the greatest and best known stars both of Europe and America, and some of the most successful productions produced during that time, I have never used a medium of publicity that brought quick results as evidenced by the avalanche of letters, telegrams and long-distance telephone messages such as the Kulee Company received in reference to its recent production of the five-reel feature, "THE UNBORN." Although my connection with moving pictures is of recent date, and my experience with feature pictures limited, I am compelled to acknowledge that with such a medium as the Motion Picture News, it is not a difficult matter to interest State Right buyers. It is also quite evident from the tone of these letters and telegrams, your reviews and criticisms of productions is accepted by motion picture buyers and exhibitors as reliable and authoritative. Firmly believing that "one should render unto Caeser the things that are Caeser's," compels me to address this letter to you. The success that "THE UNBORN" is meeting with in the sale of State Rights I attribute to your wonderful publication. Yours very truly, LK:JH. KULEE FEATURES, INC. By Lee Kugel. MOTION PICTUI^E NEWS We have instituted a service department of real business value to States Rights buyers. Every States Rights buyer should write us at once for details. Also we have data of interest to every producer who is investigating the States Rights market. Address:— STATES RIGHTS DEPARTMENT MOTION PICTURE NEWS, 729 Seventh Ave., New York City
