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

rmesday, February 27, 1924 THE DAILY ^ir |S*g* w WHAT THE CRITICS SAID: MAN £1/^ George Randolph Chester Patsy Ruth Miller and \ Dustin Farnum NEW YORK SUN and GLOBE: "My Man" is much better than several more pretentious and sophisticated features in town at present. Dustin Farnum plays the powerful politician. He does it very well, too. He gives him a bit of a sense of humor which is refreshing. Patsy Ruth Miller is the girl. In "My Man" she is lovely. NEW YORK EVENING WORLD: Dustin Farnum and Patsy Ruth Miller carry off the honors, and the "heman" introduces some cave man tactics in his love-making that are novel. NEW YORK AMERICAN: David Smith, who directed the picture, has undoubtedly made a good box office attraction. NEW YORK TELEGRAM and MAIL: David Smith has turned it into a lively screen play and at the Rialto Theatre this week it goes along like a breeze. NEW YORK TRIBUNE: Patsy Ruth Miller is the sweet and attractive heroine and a very good actress she is, too. A Picture Your Audience Wants to See! ALBERT I. SMITH president
