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

October 2Q , i g 2 i 2233 Form ' How's Your F^-m ? Are You Champion or Duffer ? America— the greatest nation of athletes since the days of ancient Greece. The most popular men and women in this country today are not statesmen, artists or scientists— they are super-beings like Babe Ruth, "Big BilP'Tilden, Ethelda Bleibtrey, Alexa Sterling, Charley Paddock, Tom Kerrigan, Jack Dempsey and the other champions. In "Form," over a dozen of these champs demonstrate in action how they won their crowns. Slow motion photography brings out the fine points, so that fans may follow their favorites more closely than if they were performing in person. Every inch of "Form" is fascinating. We consider it one of the most interesting short-subjects ever made. And so will you. Grantland Rice Pi-odu.ce a Jack Eaton R^eview the first two issues 1* a "t 1 o T\
