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

From Budd, the ultra-fashionable Fifth Ave. haberdasher, an imported lounging robe, fit for a Prince, has been received. It has been labeled as a "special" prize, thereby giving the committee another opportunity to meet orce again at a nearby cocktail bar to decide just what the "special prize" shall be.

All is in readiness for the biggest sporting event of the year in ths industry.
