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

"THE CENTURY-FOX TRADEMARK \IS ALMOST Ml GUARANTEE OF THE FINEST THAT HOLLYWOOD CAN OFFER! By Virg Langdon With each first-run picture opening we become more convinced that a film with the 20th Century-Fox trademark is almost a guarantee of the finest that Hollywood can offer in the way of motion picture entertainment. After viewing the Technicolor treat, "Scudda-Hoo! Scudda-Hay!" at the Roxy yesterday, it suddenly became apparent that, like Frigidaire in its field, 20th Century-Fox has become foremost in the production of motion pictures. We'll cite the following late releases as an example: "The Razor's Edge," "Forever Amber," "Gentleman's Agreement," "Miracle on 34th Street," "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now," "Mother Wore Tights," "The Foxes of Harrow," "' Captain From Castile," "Daisy Kenyon," "Call Northside 777," and others of lesser note yet equally well produced. "Scudda-Hoo! Scudda-Hay!" has been produced in the same flawless manner as its illustrious predecessor, "Home in Indiana," and again reunites Lon McCallister and June Haver, with the peerless Walter Brenrian thrown in for good measure."
