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

It is the best show that has hit Broadway for months and months. A superb comic re-creation of human experience." — Howard Barnes, New York Herald-Tribune "We'll be surprised if you will be satisfied to see it only once. An enchanting picture — just the thing we need these days. Chaplin has shown much wisdom in his time but the wisest thing he ever did was to put 'The Gold Rush' back in circulation." — Wanda Hale, New York Daily News "It is the cinematic MUST of the year. The genius of Chaplin is timeless." — Lee Mortimer, Daily Mirror "One of the finest and most memorable films ever made, at the Globe for what should prove an interminable run. An experience full of marvelous delight. Who could ever forget its blend of priceless comedy and haunting pathos?" — Bosley Crowther, New York Times "Funniest moving picture on Broadway or anywhere else. I'm simply going to advise you to rush up to the Globe and get yourself a barrelful of belly laughs because 'The Gold Rush' will have you rolling in the aisles. Fine, imaginative, inventive slapstick, the kind that makes you laugh out loud. My advice to you is not to miss it." — William Boehnel, World-Telegram "The one word for 'The Gold Rush' is incomparable. By all portents the 1942 grubstake ought to be returned tenfold. The Little Fellow has struck it rich again." — ]obn T. McManus, PM "One of the most hilarious entertainments of 1942. You'll find it grand fun. At the Globe for what will no doubt be a very lengthy run." — Rose Pelswick, New York journal-American "The master of pantomime is in command. Stuff to panic the students and please the mobs." — Archer Winsten, New York Post
