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

2024 MOTION PICTURE NEWS Vol. 14. Xo. 13 Why not get together with all the exhibitors in your community. Why not place your cards face up on the table and say this : " Gentlemen, big features are draining us of our life's blood. They are taking every nickle of our receipts because of their tremendous cost. We used to make money — big money — with regular service shows and we can do it again. And at a lower rental cost! There's no reason why the feature exchanges should profit by our desire to put each other out of business. Program service never was as good as it is right now — let's get together and pass a resolution to return to the regular program that never failed to please our patrons. Let's resolve to get together, live and let each other live ! " The day you pass this resolution will mean the dawn of a new prosperity for you — Pass The Resolution Today!
