Description:
Moving Picture World, founded in 1907 by J.P. Chalmers, was one of the motion picture industry's first trade papers. Published on a weekly basis in New York City, Moving Picture World informed exhibitors about films available for rental and editorialized on behalf of the growing industry (improving the quality of movies through higher filmmaking standards, not government censorship, was a frequent topic). The paper reached its height in the mid-to-late-1910s--a fact reflected in the circulation figures and the huge amount of advertising that filled every issue during the period. In the 1920s, Moving Picture World lost ground to other competing weekly trade papers -- including Variety, Exhibitor's Herald, and Motion Picture News. In 1927, Moving Picture World ceased publication when it was acquired by Martin Quigley's Exhibitor's Herald. Across the 20 year run of Moving Picture World, readers can watch the transition from short film programs to feature films and witness the transition from the dominance of Edison's Trust to the rise of the "Independent" film companies that ultimately became the Hollywood studios. Silent film historians have utilized and cited Moving Picture World more frequently than any other trade paper, and the publication still has many insights left to offer. -- Eric Hoyt, 2012/2013

A BROKEN SPELL. — Proud of the b< r and dls on of entertaining a eelebrltj l brings the famous musical composer to his residence, In I him to bis wife and extends to him the nty of bis home. While the musician is enjoying the Count's generosity, lie incident.,!!. calls attention to the r which two portraits on the walls bear to his bos! I complimenting and showing admiration for other furnishings of artistic taste. The wife, who Is of artistic and impressionable temperament, is fascinated by the composer. A reception is held In honor of the distinguished plan 1st, and. after the guests have departed, I by the husband, the musician and the wife arc left alone. He plays an emotional waltz. She is Irresistibly moved by the soulful music and glides Into a dance of graceful litheness and charming poses, scattering roses as she sways about the r As she Is passing the artist, he catches her In his arms and passionately kisses her: be pleadingly declares his love, but, ns if continuing the dance, she leaves the room, throwing him a rose which she takes from her bosom, she disappears through the door. At this moment the Count enters and kisses his wife, who wakes startled and stares in wonder at him. With the vividness of her dream Impressed upon her mind, she can hardly realize she herself has not been killed for her actions with the composer, and now. fully conscious of her own weakness and Its possible results, throws her arms lovinglv about her husband's neck, thankful that the spell is broken and she is saved from its consequences. The next morning, while the composer and the Count are seated at breakfast, the composer receives a telegram calling him to Paris. The Count urges him to stay. The composer says that be cannot and asks the Count if he has a time-table. The Count leaves to get It, and while he is gone his wife enters and is approached . by the musician She repulses him. He is disappointed and disgusted with her coldness. The husband returns with the time-table, is greeted affectionately by his wife. The musician takes the rose given him by the wife and throws It on the table: accompanied by the Count, he takes his departure for Paris without so much as a nod from the wife, who can only contemplate her fortunate escape from her own frailty.
