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

SOEG, Distribs. to Sign West Coast Pact Today Signing of contracts with the Screen Office Employes Guild covering white collarites at the Coast film exchanges is expected to be completed today by the distribution companies, with immediate dispatch of the agreements to Washington for approval of the War Labor Board to follow. The pacts, signed by the SOEG, on Friday were in the hands of C. J. Scollard of Paramount, who was one of the arbitrators in the controversy, which for a time brought a threat of strike to the Coast studios, the office employes of which are covered by the same union. The WLB will have to pass on the pacts because a wage-increase clause places them under the provisions of the President's economic stabilization order. — Scrap Socks Japs — Francis S.
