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

52 THE MOTION PICTURE NEWS FILM RELEASES (Continued from page 50) Peter, in order to get money, robs a house in the country in which Cecilia is now living, she having moved there to avoid his attentions. He discovers her and in a moment of fear strangles her and robs her body. The father has discovered a new system of identifying criminals, and when at last Peter is caught as a suspect, his father tries out his invention, not knowing who the suspect is, and finds out that he is guilty. Then he discovers Peter's identity, and the fact that he has this criminal for a son so shocks him that he drops in a faint, and so the picture closes. Much effect is gained throughout by showing double pictures by the use of a mirror. The part of Cecilia is played with much effect by Jane Marie-Laurent, the part of her husband by M. Dhartigny. A. M. General Nelson A. Miles, Colonel (Buffalo Bill) Cody and other prominent Indian fighters made their debuts in "reel" drama recently, when the battle of Wounded Knee was reproduced before a motion picture camera. Two hundred soldiers from Fort Robinson and several hundred Indians participated in the fight. Colonel Cody, accompanied by General Miles, Maus, Baldwin, King and Lee, and Colonel Sickles, charged the redskins. They will attract the Public to your Theatre Lantern Slides for all makes of Films.
