Wr7 Th e MOTION PICTURE TRADE JOURNAL Announcement MOTOGRAPHY comes, with this issue, under the general direction of Captain Merritt Crawford of New York, widely known in the motion picture industry as a publisher and publicist. In assuming the presidency of Motography it was my first desire to give its readers and advertisers immediate, aggressive and progressive action. The association of Captain Crawford with Motography is the initial step toward the fulfillment of this pledge. Captain Crawford's position is well known and fully established. He comes to Motography completely equipped by experience and ability to gvve to the industry a product of premier quality and value. He brings with hm primarily, a thorough conception of service, its relation to reader and advertiser, and he will make Motography in every sense not only a newspaper for the industry, but a trade paper with dollars and cents value to the exhibitor. The appointment of Captain Crawford is but the first of a series of important announcements which are to be made to the readers of this paper. It is the initial move in the plan to make Motography a 1 00 per cent motion picture trade paper, a publication devoted to usefulness and dedicated to the best interests of all the industry.
