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

M. HERBEL Sales M'g'r, Century Comedies During the past year we have made a careful survey of the entire field as to comedy requirements and our present policy is the result of this investigation. There is a demand for two kinds of comedies, namely: slapstick and situation. We have found that the South, with the exception of a few larger centers, prefers slapstick comedies, while Chicago and everything East prefer straight situation type. The West with the exception of the four large Coast cities, prefer slapstick. In our estimation, it is impossible to make a one-type comedy that will receive wide distribution on the 52 a year basis. Therefore, our policy of the star series plan has been adopted. We find that this policy is the most advisable due to the fact that the exhibitor only receives one comedy from each star per month and therefore every other week gets a different ' of comedy. There are no two t. leases in succession of the same )t or star. It is our opinion that on ly 52 a year proposition, you must v variety in order to get the best sible representation. Any exhibitor who does not ac tise his comedy attraction toda the same as the merchant selling and hats and only advertising ! Naturally, he is going to be d pointed not only in the results 0{ hat department, but general busi During the past few months t has been a tendency on the pai the exhibitor more than ever befoi recognize the value of two reel af dies. They are giving them 0 space in their ads and realizing p value in rounding out a satisfa(' program. In my estimation a o( comedy is at least 25 per cent ^ u' to the theater. This being the st there is no reason why it shoulcl receive 25% of advertising space.*
