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

MACK SENNETT KEYSTONE COMEDIES HAT names with which to conjure! \A/hat fond recollections they bring. Keystone comedies have made the whole world laugh. There never was a time when the world was hungering — yes, starving — for laughs, as it is today. These comedies, re-created for the present day, have never been excelled. All of the old favorites — Mabel Normand, Mack Swain, Mack Sennett, Chester Conklin, "Fatty" Arbuckle, Ford Sterling — appear in these modernized comedies. One two-reel comedy every other week, beginning November 23 with " Other Men's NA/ives," featuring Chester Conklin and Mack Swain. One one-reel comedy every other week, beginning November 30, with "Thirsty the Magician," with Mabel Normand, Mack Sennett, Ford Sterling and Roscoe Arbuckle. These comedies will stand the acid test in ANY house! KEYSTONE TRIANGLE EXCHANGES
