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

L,,i His pen-and-ink people live for laughter*. • BORN on the drawing board, though they are, these little people have the breath of life and laughter that captures hearts the world around — thanks to the creative genius of the animator. His knowing lines belie the fact that they are folk of fantasy ... of pen and ink and paint. For each and every one has the human touch . . . has been fully endowed with charaaer and lifelike move ment, through the animator's artistry. Yet — for all his wit and skill — the animator could not present his gift of laughter to the moviegoing world without the help of film. And this — in types especially adapted to his needs — he finds in the famous Eastman family, whose Fine Grain Master Positive and Background X Negative have been the animator's faithful mediums for many years.
