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 > i presents THE SPATS in (( A Hard Boiled Tenderfoot' and ^'South of the North Pole Two Reel Comedies J. Tewksbury Spat is so dumb that he thinks the ukelele is a musical instrument; but he's bright compared to Mrs. J. Tewksbury and her sap of a brother, Ambrose. The blundering adventures of this trio of onions have made the Spat Comedies famous. In "A Hardboiled Tenderfoot" J. Tewksbury is made the sheriff of a tough Western town, and told to clean it up. You can imagine how good he is but you couldn't imagine what happens. In "South of the North Pole" the three invade the snowlands, but even the cold doesn't stop their heated arguments. These two comedies are some of the good things from Hal Roach for the months of August and September. »» EL _ fd Path^comedy ^■■■"^■^ TRAPB r tej MARK \
