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

"PRODUCERS Intensive selling and wide distribution of pictures of definite exploitation merit, by an organization amply financed and fully experienced, with certified accounting to the producer and a "cards on the table" policy. This we will inaugurate in September through thirty distributing points with eighteen new feature pictures from independent producers. Other releases are likewise subject to the absolute requirements of entertainment excellence and exploitation possibilities. We will name our producers in a series of announcements, the first of which is CHOICE PRODUCTIONS, Inc. GEORGE W.
