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

566 Motion Picture News I I “The Bashful Suitor,” the second picture of the Great Masterpieces Series, has more than fulfilled the magnificent promise of “The Beggar Maid.” At its pre-release showings at the Rivoli and Rialto theatres, it startled New York’s most critical audiences with its originality. In a quaint Dutch setting is told the love story back of Josef Israels’ immortal painting. The CURRENT TRIART RELEASES: men who made “ The Beggar Maid,” the two reel sensation of the past year, have imparted the same intensity of interest, the same perfection of photography to this new picture. These pictures are being shown in the leading theatres of the country, and have never failed in overshadowing in interest any five or six reel feature shown on the same bill. “THE BEGGAR MAID” THE BASHFUL SUITOR.” COMING, “THE YOUNG PAINTER” HODKINSON PICTURE S f WM M VOGEL \ !
