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

2134 Motion Picture New Calk It Funnier Than "The Kid" The Cleveland Press in an editorial on "The Idle Class" and Heywood Broun's tribute to the genius of Charles Chaplin has this to say: <6TTEYWOOD BROUN'S play comments seem to us the soundest and most interesting printed in New York. So we quote what he has to say in the World about CharHe Chaplin, after seeing that comedian in his newest, ' The Idle Class.' " Broun says, ' If we may begin to lay bets in an effort to pick some particular man of our generation who will later on be called a genius, we should like to back Chaplin.' " Finally, writing of a situation at the end of the two reels, he says, ' The moment flashes like a blue spark. A complete and perfect effect is finished in an instant. And in that instant anybody who has eyes to see ought to know that he is watching one of the great artists of the world.' " We endorse that after seeing this newest comedy, ' The Idle Class.' " This picture is funnier than ' The Kid.' " ou 11 see Kim clotible in Written and directed by Charles Chaplin A FIRST NATIONAL ATTRACTION
