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 21, 1922 2053 Thos. II. Ince MR. EXHIBITOR In the preceding insert you w ill have gathered something of the bigness of the eight Thomas H. Ince productions which are being released through Associated First National Pictures, Inc. We have seen several of these pictures, and we can assure you that they are both BIG and UNUSUAL, with EXCEPTIONAL BOX OFFICE VALUE. We wish to congratulate Mr. Ince on the rare artistry and entertainment value and the keen sense of showmanship in their production, and we are proud to offer them to exhibitors as First National releases. We can not emphasize too strongly the large number of really big, smashing releases which First National is offering you in its Great Fall Selection. We believe that we have the greatest line-up of really Big Time pictures ever offered under a single banner. And they are coming fast — ONE BIG ONE RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER. We are giving you the pictures, and it is up to you to make the most of them. A little extra effort in exploiting them means EXTRA DOLLARS at your Box Office. Every one of them is deserving of special mention. You may make good without effort, but every ounce of energy you spend in exploiting these pictures means dollars and cents at the Box Office. It’s up to you. Go to it! Associated First National Pictures, Inc.
