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

Johnston, President, Motion Picture llena, 729 Seventh Avenue, Hew York. My dear Mr. Johnston: I believe you have done a real service to the produoe'r, the director and the exhibitor in gathering together such information as is contained in your Studio Directory and making it available for every one •who has occasion to use such information. For many years I have felt that there should be some such handbook In existence. The Director benefits by it, the actor and actress profit by it, and it is altogether an important step in the process of stabilising and standardizing of the motion picture, to those outside the field as well as those within it. With the wealth of information your last Studio Directory contained as a working basis, I see no reason why you should not be able to issue an authoritative encyclopaedia of the screen. You deserve the support and cc-oTeration of every producer in the business, and Itake pleasure in extending to you my best v.ishes for your success.
