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

Presents LLOYD HAM I LTON Hamilton can almost draw more business for me than almost any feature I can get. . . H. Bettendorf, Opera House, Foley, Minn, in GREATER AMUSEMENTS m *^ There are many laughs scattered throughout the scenes .... There are several subway scenes burlesquing the subways ' of New York. W^ell, in these Hamilton is superb. The situations themselves are funny and anyone would shriek with laughter — but when a live duck, live and wilful, he is taking home for dinner, gets away from him and hides behind a lady's petticoat, poor Hamilton shows ideal control. These scenes afford more laughs than any we have recently noted. — EXHIBITORS TRjADE REVIEW CRUSHED New York's subway is a national institution. Its milling mobs are a national byword. Out of the pushing, rushing crowd in the underground railway Hamilton gets some of the best laughs he has ever produced.
