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 24, igsi 1559 Read f he Newark Crif i»5cqf Says the New York WORLD TELEGRAM : "A wonderful story made into a picture classic." EVE. WORLD: "A pictorial triumph— many pathetic incidents," EX. HERALD: "A soul-stirring drama, a fine achievement, a page out of the book of life, done in a big way." NEWS: "There is no question about this picture being one of the best sure-fire boxoffice bets of the season. In fact, the exhibitor who books it is certain to put up his S. R. O. sign. A picture of mother love and sister love, but it is the marvelously human incident which offers the greatest appeal. The acting is highly commendable — the types are perfect." TRIBUNE: "Going to be a great success." POST: "Packed with heart interest." GLOBE: "A plaintive picture of self-sacrificing youth." TRADE REVIEW: "It grips and tugs at the heart-strings — one of the most interesting and entertaining photoplays of the season. A beautiful love element is interwoven into one of the greatest human documents ever screened. Tears and laughter are intermingled in a most pleasing fashion and everyone should enjoy seeing it. Mabel Julienne Scott is exceptional and her supporting cast all that could be asked. Truly, an "all-star" cast is in this production." Now Showinq at the Central Thecitie Broadway, af 47'' Stieet
