Description:
This leading industry publication, published out of New York, was founded in 1915 by Wid Gunning (who called his publication Wid's Daily until 1922). The Film Daily documented the rise of the Hollywood studios, the transition to sound, and the evolution of the American film industry (the paper finally shuttered in 1970). The Film Daily included feature reviews, news stories, and advertisements, but its extensive coverage of short films in the 1920s and 30s distinguished it from other trade papers of the period. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011/2013

MORE HITS from Warner Bros. SHOW^ of SHOWS — the advent of a new event in pictures — 77 stars by actual count — 1,000 Hollywood beauties by actual count — all of them tinted by Technicolor and none of them tainted by time. It is 100 shows in one — and every one is worth the price of admission. Warner Bros.' "Show of Shows" opens at the Winter Garden, next Wednesday night. As is our custom, it will be released direct to you day and date with Broadway. JOHN BARRYMORE in his first talking picture, "General Crack". His voice is given full scope — and his voice is one of the most glorious in the American theatre. "General Crack" shows Barrymore as a gypsy lover and as a swashbuckling soldier of fortune. He fights for love, and he loves to fight. The perfect combination for all movie fans. Theatregoers will flock from the legit to the movies to see and hear their favorite actor. "General Crack" will open soon on Broadway. You will be able to show it day and date with Broadway. WINNIE LIGHTNER in "She Couldn't Say No". This vivacious comedienne was one of the outstanding hits of "Gold Diggers of Broadway". Her infectious humor and her unrivaled ability in putting over a song, established her immediately as one of the unique personalities of singing pictures. Exhibitors have been clamoring for more of Winnie Lightner. "She Couldn't Say No" is the answer to these insistent demands. She has a better part in this picture; she has better songs and more scope for her irresistible brand of humor. Audiences will go wild about wild Winnie Lightner. Released soon on Broadway, and released to you day and date with Broadway. These three attractions, mentioned above, are just the forerunners of what WARNER BROS, have in store for you for the balance of the season. What WARNER BROS. Promise . . WARNER BROS. Deliver!
