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

In making "The Common law" for Miss Clara Ziaball Young I insisted upon Cooper Hewitt lights because of the vastly superior photography made possible by then.

They possess high actinic value — the peculiar rays of light indispensable to the best photography. II. The light is soft and perfectly diffused, penetrating every comer, giving fine modeling, and blends well with and resembles daylight lighting. III. They are cool, and seife for the eyes. They have no glare; no heat. IV. They are an absolutely steady light. There is no flicker. They do not drop out in the middle of a set. They do not have to be trimmed. V. They are cheap to operate — low in current consumption — low in maintenance, emd produces wonderful photography.
