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

HARRY GREEN MACK : "They know more about what she's worth at the box office than you do. They remember Harry Green because he was so good in 'Close Harmony.' He's even better in our show. What's the use of me goin' on talkin'? They'll see 'Why Bring That Up?' soon, and then they'll know it's good. Seein' is believin'." MOR AN : "They'll see it all right, but they like to know in advance." MACK : "We made sure it would be O. K., didn't we? We got Octavus Roy Cohen to write the story. Paramount gave us George Abbott, the feller who put 'Broadway' on the stage, for our director. The picture can't help but be good." MOR AN: "You left out the song hits — "Boogie Boo' and the others." MACK: "Why bring that up? The radio people are runnin' us ragged to put them songs on the air. You're just remindin' them to bother us some more."
