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

and that isn't the 'alf of it either THE second BIG series of H. C. Witwer's knockout stories are miles bigger and better than the first series. If you liked the first 12 episodes of "FIGHTING BLOOD" you'll rave your head off when you see the new series. Wait till you see them. If you got business with the first series, rebuild your house or enlarge it to hold the jams that will crash their way to see the second series. Take a slant at the photo above. That's the way the crowds packed themselves into Sid Grauman's Metropolitan theatre (newest and most lavish theatre in all America), where only the choicest offerings of the screen are shown. Take our tip. SPEAK FOR THIS NEW SERIES NOW!!! We've taken the sales force off the job on "FIGHTING BLOOD.' Our troubles now are apportioning the play dates. DISTRIBUTED BY F. B.
