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

2266 Motion Picture News H ■ Projectionist Ray Says: " There seems to be a whole lot in a name — sometimes. Take, for instance, POWER'S. " Every thing about the CAMERAGRAPH suggests POWER. Its frame, rigid as a steel bar, possesses POWER. The wide spread of its legs — like a prize fighter's — gives POWER; and the entire weight of its structure is so evenly distributed OVER THIS WIDE EXPANSE as to give the stability necessary for POWER. "POWER'S never played a confidence game: therefore it has the CONFIDENCE of every projectionist that ever used it. That's because of the POWER that is in it and behind it to do always the right thing. What you WANT, it DOES.
