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

/ * /J While picture business and the press are quite naturally absorbed in excited comment and acclaim for Warner Bros/ three great current hits, there is anger that the deeper significance of these productions may be overlooked. 'G-MEN", "BLACK FURY" and "GO INTO YOUR DANCE" are more than an mazing succession of great box-office shows. They are straws that show which ay the wind is blowing! .... Shrewd film men have rightly appraised them s an augury of still greater projects afoot at Warner Bros/ Actually they are ut the first steps in a broad-scale development of our entire production olicy which will become increasingly apparent as the next few weeks go by .... Almost immediately you will see this new production phase strikingly demonstrated in "In Caliente""The Girl from 10th Avenue" "Oil for the Lamps of China" "Alibi Ike" and "Stranded" .... And in two short weeks you will near from Hollywood the most stirring new-season news that ever came out of a film convention .... Yes, the trade winds are blowing. They are sweeping trade sentiment overwhelmingly to Warner Bros, for 1935-'36.
