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

THE GIRLS! Hal Roach has taken options on a bushel of Broadway farces for the laugh use of Thelma and Patsy for 1935-36. Imagine what these "feature-strength" stars will do in boiled down stage hits! Hal will make big grin whoopee with the screen's only team of feminine happy hooligans! THE KIDS! Omaha exhibitors nominated him to star in features after seeing him in "Beginner's Luck!" Critics call him "the male Shirley Temple!" We call him box-office! He's "Spanky" — sparkling star of Hal Roach's "Our Gang" kids! He's "hot!" He's the greatest "Our Gang" trouper Hal Roach has developed in 14 years. And that's saying plenty! THE GUY! Charley Chase poked out a comedy home run with "Okay Toots!" If you've screened it, you know! Chase can dance! Chase can sing! Chase can play more musical instruments than there are Dionne kids! Watch him go to town next season — in Broadway hit comedies. Hal Roach has a bundle of them for him!
