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

\ "Did you hear, King, that one about the travelling salesman — ?" HAL ROAC presents WILL ROGER in (( A Truthful Liar" and "Gee Whiz Genevieve Will Rogers is probably the greatest comedian of the stage today. Visitors to New York consider it just as necessary to see the show he's in as to take a look at the Woolworth Building Will is not only a great stage comedian; he's also a great screen comedian, with this advantage — people don't have to travel to New York in order to enjoy a few hundred laughs with him. In "A Truthful Liar" you see him as Ambassador to Great Britain. If all our diplomats were like Will in this picture we could disband our army. Foreign nations would.be so weak from laughing they wouldn't have strength to fight. In "Gee Whiz Genevieve" he gets a lot of fun out of being quarantined.
