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

MOTION PICTURE NEWS Vol. 14. No. 13 Mr. Exhibitor:— When you receive from our branch managers, this week, announcement of General Film Service program for Autumn and Winter, you will receive the equivalent of a certified check covering the expenses of your theatre and allowing a comfortable margin for profits, that will carry you well into the Spring months of next year. This statement is backed by all our resources and the oldest, largest and best producing concerns in the film industry. Picture theatre patrons will indorse this guarantee. A program has been arranged for you that no competitor can approach from a viewpoint of Quality, Variety and Consistency. When we compare General Film Service program, for this Autumn and W inter, to a certified check covering your expense and providing for a margin of profit, we are conservative. With General Film Service {now supplying more than 6000 exhibitors) these results are certain. Get in touch with one of our many branch offices immediately. Read on GENERAL 440 FILM COMPANY, Inc.
