Description:
Motion Picture News was the leading film industry trade journal during the 1920s. Founded in 1908 as Moving Picture News -- intended 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 MOVING PICTURE NEWS IMPETUS A snowball rolling down hill gathers momentum and weight. The first big rock it strikes usually retards the former and greatly reduces the latter. The Sales Company, rolling steadily up hill, has acquired an impetus and imparted to all branches of the industry, not dominated by the Trust, this same impetus to such an extent that no obstacle has been able to retard its progress. There is that indescribable something which dominates every member and every factor of the Independent fraternity in the Moving Picture business which enables them to ride over what in other lines might seen insurmountable difficulties. Our attention was called last week to the case of an exhibitor owning six houses, who desired to take Independent service in five of them. He was informed that if he did so, he would be unable ever after to secure "licensed" service. This is pure bluff and buncombe, and any exhibitor who has not enough of the "indescribable something" to tell these people to go to, deserves to be crushed and his business taken from him in the way that monopoly originally planned to do. Buck up, tell these people where they get off, and you will soon have them eating out of your hand. They want that one house as badly as we want the five, and if they could not get the six they would take the one. Select 3'our service from the following program and save $104.00 in royalties next year. If you have experienced any difficulty in the past in securing a satisfactory independent service, write us and tell us about it. All correspondence is treated as strictly confidential.
