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 30, 1916 MOTION PICTURE NEWS 1961 1 i YOU CAN'T MAKE A SILK PURSE OUT OF A SOW'S EAR!! And you can't make a newspaper, or an Exhibitor's house organ, bright and breezy unless you have the right stuff, unless you are open to ideas and suggestions. We can learn from many, many sources, and we can get "hunches," valuable "hunches," from experts whose business it is to study ideas and to present them properly. The proper " hunch " is Selig Pastepot And Shears, the weekly clip sheet that has put the move in the movies. It is the one best bet for the newspaper editor, the exhibitor, for the editor of the theatre program, or house organ. It's free, write us for it. To make artistic photoplays there must be modern studios and laboratories, star players, and versatile directors. The Selig Polyscope Company has all of these — modern studios in Chicago and Los Angeles, the largest motion picture zoo in the world, hundreds of redblooded stories penned by the world's most accomplished writers, and star players to enact these stories. " In the House of the Chief " is a three reel feature drama with Eugenie Besserer. Released in General Film Co.'s regular service on Monday, October 2. This production contains the very best efforts of the Selig Co. Released in And then there's The Sclig-Tribune, the world's greatest news film, released in General Film service every Monday and Thursday. Original posters and other ideas of The Selig-Tribune are continually imitated, which is the sincerest form of flattery. . " The Canbyhill Outlaws " is a Western drama with Tom Mix. General Film service on Saturday, October 7. is: Selig Polyscope Company Chicago, III. Our advertisers tell us when we give YOU the best magazine.
