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

Board where your problems, are beii^ considered ! Picture making is a commercialized art that must fit every demand of the Exhibitor as a retailer all the time , . . Not part of the time. Your goods must be staple. BLUE RIBBON FEATURES will be an example of the point in question. You will be granted the opportunity of booking each production as an independent unit. Our distributors will not force you to book an inferior product sandwiched in with Blue Ribbon Pictures ! The M.P. D. A. will see to it that each BLUE RIBBON PICTURE is booked to you independent of any other product. You all know what the Motion Picture Directors Association is. These men hold in their hands the strings to EVERYTHING THAT PICTURE MAKING NEEDS! As a producing unit they have discarded capitalistic shackles for an independent cause! They KNOW HOW. You know WHAT'S WANTED. You are the influence that will guide their actions! Start your letters now. We will find further means of personal contact with you in the near future. In the meantime let's have your ideas on BLUE RIBBON PICTURES and the manner in which they might best be made, from your standpoint of box office value. )' HOLDING CORPORATION ; Unit) ;CTORS' ASSOCIATION through UTING CORPORATION ^T^^'W'WT A/^>-k.<.l»
