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

September j , i g j i 1179 THE PIGTURE THAT RAN A SOLI D YEAR ON BROADWAY Fox Film Corporation, West ooth Street, New York City. Gentlemen : — Just closed the most satisfactory, j)leasins: and successful engagement of the best picture I have ever played during my fourteen years as an exhibitor. "OVER THE HILL" did wonders for our house in many ways. It made us many new friends, made better friends out of the old ones, brought people to the theatre we had not seen for months. In fact, it brought them out of the canyons of the Santa ^lonica Mountains and the low sea flats off Playa Del Key, both points being quite a few miles from our theatre. The picture proved to be a self-advertiser after the first day, as busines-s picked up and held to the capacity notch for tlie full five days' engagement. We never had an adverse criticism, but hundreds took the trouble to come and praise the picture. '■ OVEU THE HILL" is a direct source of revenue to the United States Post Office Department, as I know of many letters and post cards sent to those back home after seeing the show. As a friend to the box office " OVER THE HILL " is lOl'/r. In conclusion would sav the patrons of the Rosemary and myself thank you. Mr. Fox. for " OVER THE HILL." Yours truly.
