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

ARAMOUNT IS ; MY SANTA CLAUS THIS YEA SAYS HARRY DAVID, OF SALT LAKE CITY Harry David, who is the big theatre man out in S. LC.,the big town of Utah, is very emphatic about business around the Christmas holiday season. "A lot of lads sit by and expect SANTA CLAUS to dump some Christmas business into their theatres. Well, PARAMOUNT is going to be my SANTA CLAUS this year. They've figured out plenty early the kind of pictures I have to have to get the crowds in . . . before Christmas . . . during Christmas week . . . and right after Christmas. And I get 'em. "THIS YEAR/' says HARRY, "I've already signed for a couple of naturals. 'SCROOGE,' which is Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol,' is right in the Christmas spirit and will take care of the family trade for me the week before Christmas. 'COLLEGIATE,' the Joe Penner-Jack Oakie picture, will drag the kids in--all of them regardless of age and sex--during CHRISTMAS WEEK. As both of Harry's choices for box-office profits the last couple of weeks in this year are Paramount releases, itsortof looks like he knows. v^iJW-*^
