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

MADE TO ORDER FOR PARAMOUNT n The coming season of 1929-30 was made for PARAMOUNT! That's the opinion of the entire industry. The reasons are simple and convincing. It's a New and Greater Show World. Talking pictures. Singing, dancing, color. Possibilities of putting the cream of the acting and producing stage world, as well as the greatest stars of Hollywood, on the screen. ^ PARAMOUNT, the leader, alone has the ultra-modern production organization, the studios, the roster of stars and the resources to do it. The smart public of today demands continuous quality. PARAMOUNT alone can supply it week after week. This company's record during the past season, and its 1929-30 announcement prove that. «I Inferior product and companies not
