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

THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD ^ RATIFIED! ENDORSED ! AND RECOMMENDED AT NIAGARA FALLS, in Convention assembled, the National Independent Moving Picture Alliance went on record as being heartily in acccord with all the plans, purposes and policies of the Sales Company. The original Chicago agreement was UNANIMOUSLY RATIFIED, thus insuring the exhibitor a backing that is thoroughly solid and harmonious, with every vestige of factional feeling entirely eradicated. CO-OPERATION is the keynote of the Independent forces today, and all of its combined strength will be concentrated toward one great object — the improvement of the now excellent quality of its combined program. We invite exhibitors to write us on any matter in which a tribunal of manufacturers and exchange men can be of any service.
