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

2098 Motion Picture A Letter From Dr. Riesenfeld TO MR. URBAN ON "THE FOUR SEASONS" mW YORK Octo"ber 6 19 2 1 Mr. Charles Urban, Kineto Co. of America, City My dear Mr. Urloan: I feel that I owe you more than a mere price or mere thanks for your picture "The Pour Seasons", which I showed at the Rialto theatre last week. As a nature feature it is unique. It is "beautiful, instructive and above all, intensely interesting. With proper music it "becomes an illustrated poem, with an appeal to all classes--high"brow and lowbrow. Don't let anybody persuade you to make the picture any shorter or to run it in four sections, friends tried to ptersuade me to break it up. The audience really loved it-applauded when it was shown, spoke of it on leaving the theatre. Yours very sincerely, (SIGEED) Hugo Riesenfeld Managing Director I Address Your Inquiries to ' KINETO COMPANY OF AMERICA INCORPORATED 71 West Twenty-third St.
