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

New Jersey’s Largest Motion Picture House Mr. Fabian installed the RAVEN HAFTONE SCREEN in the Branford and then moved the same screen over to the Paramount, another Fabian house which had some special projection problems to be solved. The results with the RAVEN HAFTONE SCREEN were so satisfactory Mr. Fabian kept the screen in the Paramount and ordered another RAVEN HAFTONE SCREEN for the Branford. RAVEN SCREEN CORPORATION One Sixty-Five Broadway New YorK Iran&fcrfeR §The Standard £M -G Set of the i Motion Picture Industry TRANSVERTER (double arc type), furnishes two perfect arcs in series simultaneously, each of the same amperage and light value — and in striking the second arc the one showing is not disturbed in the slightest degree. This gives a perfect dissolve. And, throughout the whole operation the automatic voltage control maintains constant amperage without the use of wasteful resistance, which, of course, means less heat in the booth and less maintenance and operating cost than any other device. These are but a few of many TransVerteR features that contribute to the successful operation of motion picture theaters. TRANSVERTER automatic voltage control maintains a constant amperage and steady arc without the use of a wasteful resistance. Literature sent upon request.
