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

10 DAILY Wednesday, December 13, L Teach Germans Ways Of Peace-Zanuck (Continued from Page 1) themes calculated to help make the re-education of the people of that country a reality. His remarks elaborated on views expressed at the American Nobel anniversary dinner at the Hotel Astor on Sunday. Zanuck said that as the first step to attain the desired goal he was "exploring" a story by Sidney Kingsley for a possible sequel to "Wilson." He plans to go to Washington to seek Government co-operation in the making of the film, tentatively called "But for the Grace of John." The story is "purely American" and deals with the retm-ning soldier, according to Zanuck. Suggests "Code" for Films Re-education of the German people via films should be a United Nations movement and must in no event be nationalistic, said Zanuck. He advocated the encouragement of the French, British and Russians to establish organizations to make "under a code" films devised to foster a love of peace in the German people. He suggested that the first films shown the Germans should be made by the military of the United Nations for the purpose of bringing home a realization of the tragedy visited upon the world by the Nazis. Zanuck said that while he favored complete abolition of German film production, he didn't believe in total destruction of the industry's personnel because that would drive it underground. He wanted those engaged in production absorbed into other fields of endeavor. The adroitness and ability of the German film makers make it doubly necessary to put them out of action in Zanuck's opinion. "One World" Not Forgotten "We have not lost track of 'One World,' " observed Zanuck in discussing the late Wendell L. Willkie's book, pointing out that the film script had long been finished. He said he proposed to have a talk with Mrs. Willkie on the film version on his next trip to New York. A decision on Willkie's successor as chairman of the 20th-Fox board will not be made "for some time yet," Zanuck told the press. The 20th-Fox production chief goes to Washington today for a brief visit. He is due to return to California on Dec. 20.
