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

February 24, 1917 MOTION PICTURE NEWS 1189 Mr. Exhibitor: We have been releasing pictures for about one year. Since the very start our pictures have always been of the highest type, the kind that firstclass exhibitors have been looking for. We have watched this demand and have followed it out in producing. We are showing our Scenics and Educationals in practically every firstclass theatre in the country. Newspapers extend to our pictures the highest praise possible, devoting more space editorially to praise our subjects than the features. In addition to the Robert C. Brnce American adventure pictures, we are releasing the famous Ditmars' " Living Book of Nature," Animal Pictures that are now running at the Strand Theatre, New York, and have for the past five months and will continue to run. Book these at the following exchanges; they will strengthen your program, and attract more attention than the so-called big features.
