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

When completed, the plan will assure the companv of a first-run outlet in the significant population centers for distribution of the British importations from J. Arthur Rank as well as its own Hollywood produced films. "Rank's interest in these theaters will be reflected by the profits derived by his pictures as against Universale," Fox explained. The Universal executive paid tribute to the American press for first recognizing the merits of British pictures and aiding in prorogating their artistic and entertainment value. Fox pointed out the difficulties encountered in getting exhibitors throughout the country to accept English product but said that a great deal of progress is being made. "Any playing time we can get," he added, "is a step in the right direction and aids in educating the public."
