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

2162 M o t i o n Picture N e w s State Rights Men Take Notice LARGE, responsible moving picture corporation wants, immediately, the name and address of every man interested in buying state rights productions, for the purpose of determining whether there are enough such prospective buyers in the field to warrant marketing certain big, fine feature pictures on the state rights basis or whether it would be better to arrange for distribution through one of the regular releasing channels. We will not go into details about the pictures at this time, except to say that they are of state rights calibre to such an extent that the element of gambling is quite removed. They offer a sure chance of profit on investment to any man who knows the state rights business. Please do not send in your name as an interested prospective buyer unless you are really looking for something that is somewhat hard to find — pictures of genuine state rights quality.
