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

YHE. iday, November 6, 1925 Authors the Millions Read Wrote the Pictures the Millions Want to See! Season after season Paramount gathers the cream of the world's literaryproduct and pours it into exhibitors' box offices through the world's finest pictures. For Paramount's sensational 1926 Spring group of 30 super-productions, the yield of literary cream has been unusually rich. Here are some of the world-famous authors represented in these new Paramount record-breakers. Michael Arlen (sensation of two continents), George M. Cohan, Zane Grey, Fannie Hurst, Ring W. Lardner (America's leading humorist), George Barr McCutcheon, Hugh Wiley (Saturday Evening Post star), Arthur Train. Robert E. Sherwood (editor of ''Life"), Alfred Savoir (who wrote "Bluebeard's 8th Wife'/), Francis Brett Young, H, A. Du Souchet, Gerald Beaumont (Red Book star), Lawrence Eyre, Edgar Selwyn, Leo Ditrichstein, Maurice Samuels and Martha Ostenso (the $13,500 book prize winner). These are not the literary darlings of the intelligentsia. They are the favorite million-copies-a-year authors of the great masses of the movie-going American public. They are the writing men whose names mean barrels of dollars at your box offices. Great stars, distinguished directors, famous popular authors, the unlimited resources of Paramount — these are the factors behind the mighty Spring Paramount group of 30 screen giants.
