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

—probably one of the most timely and impressive stories ever brought to the screen. Packed with emotion-stirring value. Poignantly realistic, it is the type of thrilling, sympathyarousing entertainment that should be tremens dously popular with all ; classes of patrons." / — Motion Picture Herald / "Previewed 'Miss Fane's Baby' privately with about thirty people in attendance. Everybody enthusiastic and positive it will be excellent box office attraction." — Charles D. Skouras, Fox West Coast Theatre "Miss Fane's Baby' fine entertainment." — Martin J. Mullin, M. & P. Theatres "Everyone connected with this picture should take bows for a grand entertainment. The picture is one of those often talked of but rarely produced. A combination of suspense and feminine appeal — with the stress on the former." — Hollywood Variety "Paramount has a hit in 'Fane's Baby Is Stolen'. A picture that is timely, universal and appealing. Preview audience sobbed unrestrainedly through the whole thing and burst out with whole-hearted applause at the end when kidnappers are caught. Authentic, human and dramatic." — Hollywood Reporter "Thrilling entertainment that leans heavily on the heart side. This production is an ideal combination of up-to-the-minute sentiment with tense heart interest and a suspense that holds all the way." — Motion Picture Daily if it's a PARAMOUNT PICTURE it's the best show in town
