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

9 ombui/ • "/ consider my trailers the cheapest advertising that I buy— yet I puttrailers at the top as being most important in actually selling tickets. . . ." No truer word was ever spoken than this remark by one of the 12,000 exhibitors who use National Screen Service. Trailers ARE low in price . . . maybe too low . . . for the job they do. Measure them any way you like — they cost less per reader, per prospective customer, per circulation unit, per results ! you KNOW how many ticket-buyers read your trailers— you can only guess when it comes to other advertising media. Only bad trailers are expensive . . . because they do not sell tickets. Good trailers really cost nothing. They are an investment that return a grand, quick profit. Ever figure what part of your gross you spend for trailers? Probably just a small fraction of one percent. Don't waste your screen and money on inferior trailers. The best is always cheapest . . . NATIONAL SCREEN PRE-VUES . . . screen showmanship at its best! nflnon ATLANTA 167-73 Walton St., N.W. BOSTON 34-38 Melrose St. CHARLOTTE 219-21 Mint St. CHICAGO 1307 So.
