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

HAL ROACH presents "OUR GANG" m "High Society" and "The Sundown Limited" Two Reel Comedies The best known kids in the country are Hal Roach's Rascals who make the "Our Gang" Comedies such riots of risibility. They are all little but they are giants in laughter making. 10,284 exhibitors ran these comedies last year, getting big laughs — and profits, from these little kids. In "High Society" the freckled-faced imp, "Micky," is adopted by a wealthy aunt and swaps Mulligan stew, corned-beef and cabbage, and such Irish delicacies for the fare of the rich. Micky doesn't like the change a bit and finds a way to get out of it. And the aunt suffers. In "The Sun Down Limited" the Gang try railroading. The laughter of your audiences will drown out the screech of a hundred locomotives 1 August and September Release. --'*^., Path^comecb^ Farina, Micky and Mary in '^High Society" ,1 i ^. ^\ /
