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

i m When we say that the light from a "National" High Intensity Carbon Arc is an ideal balance of all the colors / of the rainbow, there's no guesswork involved. We split that snow-white light up into its individual bands of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet in the monochrometer shown above. Then we measure the intensity of each band by means of electrical impulses What do we find? We find that the light from a "National" High Intensity Carbon Arc is the closest to sunlight of any man-made light. Its color balance is nearly perfect. It insures that your color film will glow with the rich vivid detail that thoroughly satisfies your patrons. Moreover, a "National" High Intensity Carbon Arc is the most powerful point source of light in existence. It projects pictures that can be seen clearly from every seat in the house. Box-office insurance? Yes, sir! WHEN YOU ORDER PROJECTOR CARBONS — ORDER NATIONAL"! The term "National" is a registered trade-mark of NATIONAL CARBON COMPANY, INC.
