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

z/lre Ybu J% "Freak, 'Picture" Success ? THE great American Circus did not become a big profitable institution through its "freaks" in the side-shows. All circus successes have been created in the Main Tent. They have been built on feats of horsemanship, daring acrobatics, the love of Natural History, the laughable clowns with their burlesques of human nature. * * * Some motion picture exhibitors are content to be "freak showmen" seeking success through "freak pictures." Such exhibitors as these cannot be permanently successful. The basic backbone of each and every successful exhibitor is the motion picture producer who makes clean, wholesome, powerful, appealing pictures. In this crowded competitive picture field there are very few producing organizations building sanely and permanently for the present and future benefit of the sound exhibitor. Of the few Goldwyn is unquestionably the leader — in stories, in production values, in stars who deliver the public into your houses; in refinement and quality. An organization thinking ahead for your protection and competitive independence; not in a hurry for profits; making sane stories sanely and avoiding temporary freak successes. This is why Goldwyn has more than 5,000 exhibitor-customers. GOLDWYN PICTURES CORPORATION SAMUEL GOLDFtSH. President Edgar Selwyn. Vice President 16 East 4-2™/ Street New York City
