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

-THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY After Selling Valuable State Rights Territory on this Unusual Produc tion—All Negotiations Were With drawn—Owing to the insistent De mands of Bluebird Exchange Men -Who will Release It as a Bluebird Special (Not on the Regular BLUEBIRD Program) BLUEBIRD [Inc.] Considers This Its Most Important Announcement A picture so big — to unusual — that even judged by the ultra critical BLUEBIRD Exchange men according to the high BLUEBIRD standard — it was pronounced one of the greatest pictures ever produced anywhere. In spite of the fact that after weeks of advertising valuable State Rights on this remarkable picture had been sold— THE MONEY WAS RETURNED— NEGOTIATIONS FOR FURTHER SALES WERE WITHDRAWN— and BLUEBIRD Exchange Managers prepared to release it as a BLUEBIRD Special — not on the regular BLUEBIRD Program of releases. Now that it is a BLUEBIRD we do not hesitate to say that it is the finest BLUEBIRD ever released. "Hell Morgan's Girl" is based on a big story; time — the great San Francisco disaster; place — the famous Barbary Coast resorts of that wonderfully cosmopolitan city. Without fear of contradiction we pronounce this picture one of the three greatest box-office attractions on the market today.
