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

September 2, 1916 MOTIONPICTURENEWS 1289 r When the telephone business was organized, men quit worrying about communication. When the automobile was put on a practical basis, men quit worrying about transportation. When Paramount was organized, motion picture exhibitors quit worrying about their service. Not till Paramount began its distribution of two supreme photoplays a week, 104 every year, did the motion picture qusiness take on a semblance of stability. Today, with thousands of exhibitors in the Paramount family, a Paramount contract remains the one solid guarantee of the success of a theatre. With a Paramount contract you, too, can quit worrying about your program or its continuity through all that may happen next week or next year. Paramount's stability is your strength and the guarantee that every week you will have two Famous Players, Lasky, Morosco or Pallas photoplays in your theatre, is the best reason in the world to join the family, and Quit Worrying.
