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

Wednesday, January 2, 1924 Don't Call Yourself a Showman till you've played "DON'T CALL IT LOVE"! Tl^ILLIAM de MILLE'S "Don't Gall It Love" was an absolute mop-up at the Rialto Theatre, New York. It opened to the biggest business on Broadway with the exception of "The Ten Commandments." And on the Sunday before Christmas, the low-tide theatre day of the year, at that! Every matinee and night "Don't Call It Love" was a sell-out. Here are three reasons why: 1. THE TITLE— If you don't think "Don't Call It Love" is a good box-office title, see the line that drops in just because they read it in the electric lights. 2 THE CAST — The term "all-star cast" is much • abused. But here is one worthy of being shown, in full, in lights: Agnes Ayres, Jack Holt, Nita Naldi, Theodore Kosloff, Rod La Rocque, Robert Edeson. 3 THE STORY— The modern "Fool There Was" told • in the modern manner. A love comedy, full of humor, charm and appeal for both women and men, done as only William de Mille can do it. You can afford to make a real noise when you get "Don't Call It Love." Facts prove the picture will do the rest!
