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

DAILY VARIETY.. "a first class production . . . Appealing in its quality, amusing in its comedy treatment and dialog, excellently acted and intelligently directed, it is a credit to all who had a hand in its making ... The picture is produced with infinite care and admirable taste and is destined to do a flattering cash register business." HOLLYWOOD REPORTER . . "It is inconceivable that 'Quality Street' will be anything other than a box-office sensation wherever it plays . . . Only in a trade journal could it be reported that the picture has honest belly laughs . . . Laughter mounts and continues to mount until the audience is in gales of laughter." FILM DAILY. . "Charming picture from the Barrie play gives Hepburn a delightful comedy role . . . Packed with delicious humor that rolls along with never a dull moment . . . 'Quality Street' should do well everywhere— the ladies will love it, but it will also amuse the men." M. P. DAILY. . "completely captures the delicacy of Barrie's work . . . The situations build as the action progresses, finally culminating in a degree of hilarity that will surprise . . . Credit for the mirth is largely due to the direction of George Stevens, who maintains the atmosphere while driving home the comedy."
