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

THE MOTION PICTURE NEWS The above is a good likeness of the new heavy-weight champion of the MOTION PICTURE world, taken at the Ince & Sennett training camp in the Santa Monica Canyon near Los Angeles, California. The young champion, for young he certainly is, having been in the game a little over a vear, hails from New York town. He comes from the well-known Knickerbocker family, KESSEL & BAUMANN. His people noting his early inclinations and apt fitness to fill this field of endeavor, were not averse, in fact even urged him on; and placed him in the hands of Thomas H. Ince and Mack Sennett, under whose able tutelage he soon rounded into championship form. Sennett, as his trainer, specialized on head work and soon cultivated in him a habit of thinking fast and of how to take a punch on the jaw (KEYSTONE) and go with it so that it would lose its effect. The last is rather difficult for a trainer to drill into a youngster of this type, as they like to take it on the jaw to show "they are there"; and invariably they take one too many and go down in defeat. While Sennett was developing his dome (KEYSTONE), Ince was busy on his body (DOMINO) and hands (BRONCHO AND KAY-BEE) and soon had bulging muscles all over his body. The ones sheathing his stomach resembled a washboard, on which he could take any kind of a punch with a smile; and as a two-handed fighter there never was one better. He can hit equally well from either side and his assortment of blows are much too complex to dwell upon; but it is his fast left-hand jab and hook (BRONCHO) or straight right or jolt (KAY-BEE) that usually brings home the bacon. The champ's climb to the top has been comparatively easy, as none of the so-called contenders for the title have been able to stay a round with him. Tt is safe to assume with the watchful eyes of Tom Ince and Mack Sennett on him he will be a champion for some time to come.
