The Motion Picture News was an American film industry trade paper published from 1913 to 1930.

History

The publication was created through the 1913 merger of the Moving Picture News founded in 1908 and The Exhibitors' Times, founded earlier in 1913.^{[1] [2]}

After being acquired by Martin Quigley in 1930, the publication was merged with Exhibitors' Herald World to form the Motion Picture Herald.^{[3] [4]}
