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 "The Die Is Cast." Mr. Exhibitor, did you ever hear of a scaramouch. : You certainly have met him. In business he is known as a "four-flusher." The trouble with his kind is that you RESPECT him until you finally see his bluff called, then you realize how foolish you were to pay him homage. The gigantic bluff of some people who tried to tell you that they are the only ones entitled to make Moving Pfctures has been called. Sei Moving Picture World, Feb. 18th, page 356, showing withdrawal of Injunction against " Gaumont Type of Camera," By sticking together the Independents have met, beaten and exposed their bluff. Now, do they still command your respect as they did before you knew that they didn't have a leg to stand on .J There is only one answer you can give, and that is, to call at once for this ■ UNEXCELLED PROGRAM EVERY MONDAY AMERICAN — American Film Manufacturing Company ECLAIR— Eclair Film Company IMP — Independent Moving Pictures Company YANKEE— Yankee Film Company EVERY TUESDAY BISON— New York Motion Picture Company POWERS— The Powers Company THANHOUSER— Thanhouser Company EVERY WEDNESDAY AMBROSIO— New York Motion Picture Company ATLAS— Atlas Film Company CHAMPION— The Champion Film Company NESTOR— David Horsley RELIANCE— Carlton Laboratories EVERY THURSDAY AMERICAN — American Film Manufacturing Company IMP— Independent Moving Pictures Company ITALA — New York Motion Picture Company REX — Rex Moving Picture Mfg.
