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

Ruth Roland Produced By Ruth Roland Serials Inc. Supervised By Hal Roach The Pick of Over 30 Serials! ' | 'he Mahaiwe Theatre of Great Barrington, Mass., is a high-class house, run in a highclass way, and catering to a high-class family patronage. The town of Great Barrington, situated as it is among the beautiful and famous Berkshire Hills, draws business not only from the very rich whose fine estates dot the countryside, but also from a typical American small town population. First. Because it is the very best serial on the market. Second. Because it is an outdoor all Western serial, a pleasant change from the usual serial story. Most all the picture has been taken in the open and the story breathes the spirit of the great West. The management of this successful and well run theatre has booked “White Eagle.” In announcing the attraction to their patrons they speak as follows : “ ‘White Eagle’ has been selected from a list of over 30 serials, for three important reasons: Third. Because mothers will not have to worry about their children picking up distorted ideas of life by viewing this chapterplay. It is entirely censor proof. There is not a foot of film in the whole picture that the most severe critic could criticise in. the least.” We can add but little to this most excellent description of Ruth Roland’s greatest serial. Booked in Barbee's Loop , Chicago , for a full week's run, downtown
