Motion Picture Herald

The Motion Picture Herald (MPH) was an American film industry trade paper first published as the Exhibitors Herald in 1915, and MPH from 1931 to December 1972.

[4] The paper's origin was in 1915, when a Chicago printing company launched a film publication as a regional trade paper for exhibitors in the Midwest and known as Exhibitors Herald.

[5] In 1917, Quigley acquired and merged another publication, Motography,[5] into his magazine.

In 1927, he further acquired and merged the magazine The Moving Picture World and began publishing it as Exhibitors Herald and Moving Picture World, which was later shortened to the more manageable title, Exhibitors Herald-World.

Exhibitors Herald and Moving Picture World also incorporated The Film Index that was founded in 1906.
