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

2106 MOTION PICTURE NEWS Vol. 14. No. 14 FORTHCOMING PARAMOUNT PICTURES VIVIAN MARTIN IN HER FATHER'S SON WHEN Miss Martin was first plucked from the legitimate stars of the stage to take her place with screendom's leading idols, we predicted that she would some day rise to the highest position in her profession. This picture proves that we were right ! In her own particular field Vivian Martin has no equal. Months from now, when her name assumes the importance it deserves, " Her Father's Son " will be known as the first picture that gave Vivian Martin a real opportunity to demonstrate her magical abilities. You must not overlook this chance to register an important victory in your patrons' eyes. In this extraordinary play of the picturesque old South, Miss Martin, masquerading as a Confederate spj', charms the heart of her Union lover, and brings a plot of tense situations to a happj'-ever-after close. It is a picture we are really proud of. Produced by the Oliver Morosco Photoplay Co. Released Thursday, October 1 2th Be sure to mention " MOTION PICTURE NEWS " when writing to advertisers
