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

2956 MOTION PICTURE NEWS Vol. 16. No. 17 IllillllllllllUlllillllllllllllllllllllllllllll The New Service Bureau of the National Association of The Motion Picture Industry Abolishes Agency and Commission Abuses for Artists, Directors, Assistants, Cameramen and All Other Workers in Motion Pictures. No longer is it necessary for those seeking employment of producers or distributors of motion pictures to pay exhorbitant or double commissions or put up with any of the evils which have caused them loss and annoyance in the past. All of the important producing and distributing organizations are now members of the National Association of the Motion Picture Industry and they have organized a Service Bureau to protect the thousands of men and women who wish to work for them. Through this Service Bureau you may register without cost and one registration will be known to the entire industry, and each member of the Association will utilize the Service Bureau in quest of future employees, players, artists and technical aids. The Service Bureau Ends All of the Abuses and Humiliations to which Players and other Employment Seekers Have Been Subjected The Service Bureau will do away with the granting of special favors to agents; of the payment of extra commissions, the insults suffered by feminine artists, and the unscrupulous casting and employment agencies operated outside the control of producing companies. Mr. Wales Winter, a man of proven reputation and integrity, has been placed in charge of the Service Bureau and this important work under strict instructions to conduct his negotiations in arranging for the employment of those registered in the Bureau upon a fair and equitable basis. It is important that all artists and those seeking employment remember that all of the important producing and distributing companies will seek their employees through the Service Bureau, beginning Monday, Oct. 15, 1917.
