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

October 21, 1916 MOTION PICTURE NEWS 2503 Are You the Best Excliange Man in Your Territory ? As the official representative of the British War Office and Admiralty, I have been commissioned to arrange for the broadcast exhibition throughout the United States of the greatest battle film ever published. To secure maximum results I must have the assistance of the best exchange man in every territory. Are you that man? "The Battle of the Somme" (FIVE REELS) A vivid picture of history in the making. Actual battle in all-devouring progress. Moving, breathing, living pictures of the titanic struggle of the Allies to redeem the shell-bitten lands of Northern France and Belgium. This picture actually shows what the greatest writers have tried, vainly, to express. Aside from its historic value, this picture is the Greatest Film Ever Published because it is replete with human interest. It is the only film ever taken of an ACTUAL BATTLE IN FIERCE PROGRESS, showing the TERRORS, HORRORS and MISERY OF WAR. Kitchener's Griat Army (4 Reels) ' , ' " Portrays the most stupendous feat in the history of the World, turning 5,000,000 civilians into a highly efficient army in eighteen months. These pictures carry with them the greatest latent publicity value in existence today. Menaced as this nation is by the WORLD WAR and the MEXICAN SITUATION, every thinking American Citizen is intensely interested in just what war means. These films show them. Every element that makes for success is offered. In these subjects you have two great features — combined they make the greatest super-feature ever produced. It merely requires the man who can take advantage of OPPORTUNITY. Again I ask you ARE YOU THE MAN? CHAS.
