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

INTRODUCING PICTURES "« ****** The Premier Group » * » » * Here they are. Look them over. Then consider them carefully, picture by picture. Did you ever see a more promising line-up from a brand-new distributor? Much care has been given to the selection of the stories. They're modern. They were picked for their music, sound, dialogue possibilities — the new entertainment. All 100% talkers. Of course production values will be right. Star and cast names will be box-office. James Cruze, Inc. will make nine. Mr. Cruze will personally direct three and supervise six. Sono-Art Productions, Inc. will make nine, all supervised by either O. E. Goebel or George W. Weeks. British International Pictures, Ltd. will contribute several. With this announcement this company formally opens for business. The only "policy" we proclaim is product sold on its merit at fair prices, and the best distribution service we can give. SONO ART-WORLD WIDE PICTURES, INC. George W.
