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

Judy Garland's joyous musical held over in 34 early engagements, tops famed "Miniver" in many spots, ahead of hearty "Honky Tonk" practically everywhere. 9th Week, Astor, N.Y. New M-G-M records in Chicago (best at U. A. Theatre in 4 years!) and Philadelphia (best at Aldine since 1938) for the Hedy Lamarr -Walter Pidgeon smash romance. New York Capitol tops "Honky Tonk." Held-over 100%! Wherever you go they're saying: "M-G-M has done it again!" Ronald Colman-Greer Garson in a film headed for the Hall of Fame. Press reviews, exhibitor praise prophesy another world-famed "Miniver" hit! Watch trade press reviews! Greatest triumph of naval action since "Mutiny On Bounty." Robert Taylor, Brian Donlevy, Charles Laughton, Walter Brennan are superb! A dramatic spectacle with patriotic punch that lifts you to the skies! FIRST LION OF DEFENSE!
