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

1998 MOTION PICTURE NEWS Vol. 14. No. 13 ■A A Gripping, Powerful, Smashing Five Part Feature on Today's Greatest Evil The producers have succeeded in portraying the infamous methods employed by the White Slave Traffickers, at the same time conveying to the public a sincere and powerful message on this timely topic. Moreover, with praiseworthy tact they have studiously avoided every temptation to cheap sensationalism, without in any way weakening its dramatic power. With tremendous dramatic force, this picture sets forth the career of a young girl, who yielding to the wiles of masquerading villainy in a moment of weakness, is drawn deeper and deeper into the meshes of her vicious associates, but finally is the instrument of their complete undoing.
