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

My congratulations to Allen Holubar, Dorothy Phillips and the officers of the First National for putting out such a picture." Edgar L. Weill, Manager, The Strand. A Report From Indianapolis, Ind.

It began by breaking all attendance and box-office records on the first day. Crowds jammed the theatre and lined up in the street outside. Throngs struggled to gain admission all day. At closing time there were so many clamoring to get into the theatre, that an extra midnight performance was held to accommodate them. Associated First National Pictures, Inc. Albert A.
