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

Qy^ll^Y Wednesday, August 27, 192^ PRBCIllA DEAN IN "THE SIREN OE SEVILLE" A SENSATIONAL SUCCESS AT PREMIER SHOWING CAIIEORNIA THEATRE, SAN ERANCISCO IT HAS TO BE GOOD TO MERIT THE FOLLOWING: "Paul C. Mooney, Vice President, Producers Distributing Corporation, 469— 5th Ave., New York "Priscilla Dean's first Hunt Stromberg production 'THE SIREN OF SEVILLE' opened here Saturday to smashing record breaking business. Sunday even greater in proportion, and a hold-out matinee at this moment on Monday. Everything points to a record breaking week. Consider this the best thing Miss Dean ever did and a production worthy of playing any theatre in this country. Newspaper critics gave this picture one of best send-offs that any picture has had in many months in San Francisco. The supporting cast is excellent and the production praiseworthy in every respect. We are looking forward to her next picture *A CAFE IN CAIRO'. Hunt Stromberg is entitled to all credit possible for a real money getting production. Herbert L. Rothchild Entertainments CALIFORNIA THEATRE, Nat Holt, Manager" THE PROOF OF THE PICTURE IS IN THE SHOWING NOW BOOKING Released by PRODUCERS DISTRIBUTING CORPORATION Foreign Distributor: Wm.
