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

"Jackie Coogan in his first MetroGold wyn 'Little Robinson Crusoe' thrills and amuses. Its appeal cannot he measured in mere words. Children will love it. And every man and woman who saw it yesterday was a child. Of dull moments it has none. 'Little Robinson Crusoe' is a great show." — Morning Telegraph "Sceneswhich must have delighted the soul of any small boy. One waits only for Jackie Coogan. The lad is charming. The present reviewer will go with whoops of joy to anything in which he appears/* — Evening Sun "I think one view of Jackie impersonating the cannibals in a native dance is one of the most remarkable things he has done, since he comes out as a juvenile dancer of real ability. What is there this wonderful kid can not do?** — Quinn Martin in The World "Happily designed to quicken the pulse and the heartbeats of children, young and old. His adventures with the man-eating cannibals contain every element of entertainment. The piC' ture stands out as one of the season's best.** — Telegram and Evening Mail "Any parent with the price of admittance to the Capitol Theatre in his inside pocket should make it a point to take the children to see Jackie Coogan in 'Little Robinson Crusoe.* The youngsters are going to love Jackie as the shipwrecked hero. Even the grown-ups will get a laugh out of Jackie and the cannibals."— N.Y. American */? (^^^ffokluj>i/n Picture <"
