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

Gentlemen : On or about the first of last February we were on the lookout for good strong service to build up our Monday and Tuesday receipts at this theatre. On February 28th, I began booking two of your first run pictures a week. Since that date I have played almost all your regular releases, and all of your big "specials" as well, and I am pleased to advise you that Mondays and Tuesdays have picked up 25 to 30 per cent . Your pictures have thoroughly pleased our patrons and we consider V. L. S. E. the very best on the market.
