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

He thought to retain his power, his wealth and his position by sweeping from his path every human obstacle. But the reformed crook, the hustling young reporter and a girl beat him at his own game, — wits ! A superbly produced picture as fast and as thrilling as a tidal wave.
