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

They're in show business. We sold over 7,000,000 phonograph records. We played to millions of folks over the radio from coast to coast. There's even a comic strip about us runnin' in the big newspapers. But that ain't no news to anybody with eyes and ears." MORAN: "Tell 'em about our picture, Charlie. That's what they want to know/ 99 MACK: "I don't have to talk about that picture. Wait till they see it.
