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

His portrayal of the roles of Washington and Lincoln in "The Sons of a Soldier," the thrilling war drama that added many laurels to the company, was the work of an artist. Mr. Sheerer left the dramatic field for a short time during his service in the SpanishAmerican war. However, "once an actor always an actor" applied to him, as he returned to his chosen profes sion at the close of his enlistment. Three years ago he entered the motion picture field. His success in this work has been great. Since joining the Eclair force, he has appeared in one part or another in almost all of their productions. Some of his notable parts have been the Doctor in "The Doctor's Humanity"; the Fakir in "The Vengeance of a Fakir"; and the Spanish Captain in "The Crimson Cross."
