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

E, Systems Are Interchangeable Hagerstown, Md. (By Telephone) — The Academy of Music, equipped with Bristolphone sound reproducing equipment, yesterday afternoon began a four day run of "Lilac Time" using the records made via the Western Electric disc system. Alan Bachrach, manager of the theater, declared the interchangeability was perfect. This is the first known attempt to demonstrate the practicability of interchangeability. The print was shipped to the Academy from First National's Washington exchange several days ago. The records, according to Bachrach, have been in his hands for a week awaiting completion of the installation. The first performance went off without hitch and with no interference of any nature, either from First National, Electrical Research Products or the competitive theater which is the Maryland and which is equipped for Movietone and Vitaphone. The Academy is controlled by Julian Brylawski of Washington. The Maryland is operated by Silverman Bros, who own a string of houses in Pennsylvania. Bachrach declared yesterday he will begin a two day engagement of "The Whip" on Friday, using W. E. recording over his Bristolphone equipment. REPRINTED FROM THE FILM DAILY OF OCTOBER 16th, 1928 We are prepared and ready to take orders for the installation of the Bristolphone machines in theatres throughout the United States and Canada to be installed as fast as exhibitors can prepare their booths and have the necessary wiring done.
