Description:
Don't let the title fool you. MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY was the organ of the Universal Film Manufacturing Company. Universal used the publication to promote its films and point of view to American exhibitors. Previously and subsequently titled UNIVERSAL WEEKLY, MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY should not be confused with the two independently run trade papers of the same era, MOVING PICTURE WORLD and MOTION PICTURE NEWS. -- Eric Hoyt, 2015

10 THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY For FIFTEEN Big Weeks of Screaming Smashing Success The good old kale is awaiting you in "THE BROKEN COIN" and there are forty ways and means provided to help you get it. This big play, which one of our biggest Exhibitors calls the "world's greatest serial," was released on June 21. The bookings — well, they are more than satisfactory for the very good reason that the wise ones recognized that in a story by the great American author, Emerson Hough; a scenario by Grace Cunard, who wrote and played the lead in "Lucille Love"; directed by Francis Ford, who also directed and played the lead in "Lucille Love," they would get a really big serial. They knew, too, that the "mighty helping hand" of the Universal would be behind it to PUSH IT and LEAD THEM TO SUCCESS. And so the bookings are pouring in. This is a tip to you to get the big FREE Campaign Book advertised on the opposite page. Read the story of "THE BROKEN COIN."
