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

for your ticket register Sound as a novelty is out of the running. The day of quality is here. Poor reproduction drives the public away. Good reproduction draws it in. Inevitably, therefore, the public is responding to RCA Photophone with a patronage that keeps ticket registers clicking overtime. Created by a group of electrical and acoustical manufacturers who have contributed most to the public's appreciation of tone quality, RCA Photophone represents the furthest advances in the art of sound recording and reproduction. In no other organizations in the world is every other consideration more completely set aside for the attainment of the highest possible quality and precision than in the laboratories of the Radio PHOTOPHONE jj/annzn Corporation of America, the General Electric Company and the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of RCA Photophone. It follows that the sound equipment of these manufacturers permits of value-giving in excess of every other standard. When you purchase an RCA Photophone, you are buying more than merely a sound system. You are making a lasting investment in a quality tone system that will give you a sense of security at all times that is built right and priced right. For sound, as it should sound, contract now for RCA Photophone. It will enhance the prestige of your house . . . and expand your profit account.
