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

RUDOLPH MIEHLING Chief Projectionist CAPITOL THEATRE NEW YORK " THE LARGEST THEATRE EST THE WORLD " SAYS: — " Electra Carbons are so eminently satisfactory that we use no other brand in the Capitol booth. "We use a %"xl2" Electra as an upper carbon, in combination with a 7/16"x6" copper-coated Electranega, as a lower carbon. "We pull 110 amperes, with a throw of 207 feet, and project a picture 21'6" wide by 15'9" high. " Electra carbons give a steady, white light of excellent quality. They are long burning and have no ' hard spots ' or faulty cores. " I strongly recommend them to all managers and exhibitors who expect perfect results on the screen and are willing to provide the operator with the best ' tools ' available."
