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

WIDE NET WORK OF SERVICE STATIONS Now this story can be told. After months of preparation RCA Photophone announces the formation of a nation-wide network of service stations. The first eleven of these branches are now being opened. Each will be in charge of a supervising engineer and an assistant engineer, with a corps of factorytrained technicians as their aides. These experts are your assurance of a satisfactory performance RCA Photophone wants satisfied customers. It will go to any length to insure their satisfaction. To this end, RCA Photophone will spend more than a million dollars a year to carry out its everexpanding program of service to the exhibitor — a program that considers only the results — not the cost. RCA Photophone service stations will cover the country. The initial stations to be opened include New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, Kansas City, Denver, San Francisco and Seattle. Others will be opened as rapidly as occasion demands. PHOTOPHONE SOUND EQUIPMENT
