Motography

The trade journal was published monthly by Electricity Magazine Corporation[2] in Chicago and had a bureau office in New York City.

In 1918, Martin Quigley bought Motography merging it with what eventually became the Motion Picture Herald.

“What Theater Men are doing; news of exhibitors succeeding are you one?” which highlighted key leaders in the industry, what they had been doing, and how they had become successful.

For instance, in their 1918 April issue in their "Publicity That Makes Profits", Motography writers wrote about new ways to advertise to people, to come to particular theaters, watch movies, etc.

This guide showed all of the current films genres, categorized as Drama, Comedy, Topical, Scenic or Educational.
