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

44 THE MOTION PICTURE NEWS ANOTHER THANHOUSER STUDIO C. J. Hite, of the Thanhouser Film Corporation, is still planning big things for his New Rochelle company. Announcement is now made that plans have been prepared and approved by the building inspector for another glass-inclosed stage in addition to the present large plant, which has been completely outgrown. The new stage, it is expected, will cost about $15,000. Main street and Echo avenue will be the address of the new stage. It will cover a floor space of 95x75 feet, and the huge steel skeleton will be inclosed with a new style wire glass of great refractive power. This arrangement, it is said, will diffuse the light without the aid of the usual white cloth curtains, FOREST FIRES ADDS REALISM The aggressiveness of the American Film Manufacturing Company in realizing the pictorial value of a real forest fire is responsible for the success of the production, "Trapped in a Forest Fire." The first scenes of this picture were taken during the recent devastating fires that swept through and destroyed vast areas of gorgeous forests in Southern California. The camera man showed great pluck in facing the scorching flames and intense heat, and despite the fact that they were overcome several times stuck to their posts until the directors called them off. Sydney Ayres plays the lead and Vivian Rich does some very pretty acting. The subject will be released Monday, December 8.
