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

But these three proved hits right in a row, reveal more than mere box-office success. To me it discloses that I have earned your confidence. That is my greatest pride. It means I have merited your good-will and that is my greatest trust. Now I come before you with my fourth production in which I place even greater faith than in any I have heretofore produced.
