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

I haven't said a thing about them which they do not merit and I am mighty glad' to do anything to boost them along. They deserve it. Speaking of the Mermaid slapstick: There is slapstiok and again there is slapstick. "High-brows* can enjoy slapstick as keenly as any other class when its clean, when there is a point to it and when it is not overdone and that's exactly what the Mermaid slapstick is. There's a reason for it in "A Fresh Start*, there's not a vulgar minute in it and the director knew Just when to quit. So far, the Educational Comedies stand head and shoulders above every other comedy on the market and fortunate is the exhibitor who books them. They will help to put across many programs which contain weak features.
