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

SELZNICKWICTURE5 HERB WHY? BOOK THESE ! "THE LONE WOLF" in'THE MOTH" WHY! It's a smashing melodrama, a Brenon masterpiece; bigger success than 44 War Brides," at the Broadway; all the thrills of a serial in seven zippy reels. Norma Talmadge is all the rage, every picture is a cleanup. 44 The Moth " is her most gorgeous role; a de luxe play with a knock-out punch. GMNCEWMM in'THE LE550N" This young girl is already famous from her work as leading woman in Griffith productions; the public wants novelty — here's a new, brilliant star. EVA TANGUAY in'THE WILD GIRL" Millions have awarded Eva Tanguay the place of the most popular star in vaudeville ; this is her picture debut; it will be a mint.
