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 Proof of the Pudding Quality Stands the Test of Service Read the unsolicited opinions of "reel" live wires: Salvin Rock, West Haven, Conn. Precision Machine Co., New York. Gentlemen: — I have vised the Simplex machine for several months and would say that it is, in my opinion, the best and most satisfactory machine I have ever used. Have had sixteen years steady experience as a moving picture operator and during that time have used many good machines, but I consider the "Simplex" the best and easiest running of them all. (Signed) J. P. Dibble. 603 Carolina Ave, S. E., Washington, D. C, Feb. 24, 1913. To the Manufacturers of Simplex Machine. Dear Sirs: — I believe in the "Simplex." I am a machinist of twenty-two years' experience and have been operating five years, using all kinds of machines, and I think I know a good one when I see it. (Signed) W. H. Marshall, Chief Operator Avenue Grand Theatre. San Bernardino, Cal., Oct. 16, 1913. Precision Machine Co., 317 East 34th St., New York City. Gentlemen : — Received the Simplex machine and I am well pleased with it. If any one that lives in this locality inquires about a machine, tell them to go and look at the Temple Theatre in San Bernardino and if they don't buy a Simplex they don't want a machine at all. I am showing a better picture than any I have seen in California. The patrons claim there is none like it in Los Angeles or San Diego, so clear and steady. Wishing you continued success for your most excellent machine, I remain, Yours very truly, (Signed) Guy Slipper, Temple Theatre.
