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

CORINNE GRIFFITH '/ 1 I it "^T" I .J he 1 ower f of Jewels'i By Lucien Hubbard 1 Directed by Tom Terriss Edited by 3 Mr. and Mrs. George Randolph Chester Corinne Griffith has been called the most beautiful star on the screen. Her beauty fairly sparkles in "The Tower of Jewels." ^ is a picture which opens wide the portals of a hidden realm — the realm of de luxe crime. It reveals to ordinary mortals an amaz' ing vision of those creatures who employ vast intelligence to the pursuit of burglary. Corinne Griffith as the star of "The Tower of Jewels"^ has the role of a bewitching maid whose charms are the instrument of the outlaw, but whose heart is as pure gold. The scenes of "The Tower of Jewels" are laid in both the upper world and the underworld. It's a jewel of a picture. 1
