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

East India Moves to California ORIENTAL MOTIF ENHANCED BY SUBDUED LIGHTING IN AUDITORIUM AND SPANISH ARCHITECTURE HIGHLIGHTS OF FOX THEATRE AT VISALIA VISALIA. Cal.— Acoustical plaster and subdued lighting" are combined to assure the best in acoustics with maximum beauty in the new Fox here, recently completed. The house is economically built, but without sacrifice of any features of beauty, comfort or prac tical sound and film projection. The unusual prominence of the box-office also is a feature of this new house. The entire ceiling and side walls of the auditorium are treated with acoustical plaster. The material is artistic and decorative as well as fireproof. Subdued lighting removes the effect of the rough plaster finish, giving it a smooth appearance, which greatly enhances the beauty and effectiveness of the East India motif of this atmospheric theatre. All lighting is concealed in the side walls, so that no shadows are cast upon the ceiling. W-MAIH-SIKCn,
