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

MMI niie Strong, Definite Voice of the Critics ^ In the city of the shams it attacks and exposes this powerfully-directed, all-star picture received amazingly fine reviews in the dailies and drew more business in the beautiful 600 seat Cameo Theatre than other more widely advertised shows drew into two nearby big competitive first run houses. Q?ie HEROLDS bresent FALSE FRONTS From the story Sy S. BARRET McCORMICK Directed 6y Samuel R. Bradley All-star cast including BARBARA CASTLETON FRANK LOSEE EDWARD EARLE EVENING TELEGRAM: "Talse Fronts' will be found very entertaining. It permits one to leave the theatre in a very pleasant frame of mind — which is, after all, what we go to the theatre for." MORNING TELEGRAPH: "'False Fronts' is an entertaining, well acted and well directed film play. Edward Earle, who was recently crowned 'King of the Movies' plays the role of Keith Drummond with the charm and all the upstanding attributes of a football hero and only son of one of the F F. Vs." NEW YORK TIMES: "When people have ideas which they independently seek to express in film form, they are likely to contribute something imaginative, or at least sincere, to the screen. 'False Fronts' was more simply and honestly done than most pictures of its kind." NEW YORK HERALD: "There is a potent quality in this story of social hypocrisy. The course of the young Southerner is refreshingly different from the customary triumphs of bluff prosperity." THE SUN: "'False Fronts' is a wholesale condemnation of making a big show of success, forcefully enacted by Edward Earle, Barbara Castleton and Frank Losee."
