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

THE Monday, Feb. 5, 1934 -MK DAILY A "LITTLE" from HOLLYWOOD "LOTS //. By RALPH WILK WTARNER'S "Dames," new musi" cal comedy picture co-starring Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell, will go into production in about two weeks. Powell, who has been kept very busy of late in "Wonder Bar" and "Hot Air," has gone to Delmonte for a fortnight's vacation before beginning his next screen role. Because of the impending production of "Dames" Ruby Keeler was unable to accompany her husband, Al Jolson, to New York. The courtly Huntley Gordon, one of screenland's real veteran actors, whose career dates back to the old days of Vitagraph, has appeared in every type of motion picture ever made — except a two-reel comedy. Now he completes the gamut with an assignment in Educational's new Frolics of Youth comedy, "Managed Money." * * * Shooting has been completed on "Hot Air," the Warner musical film in which the cast is headed by Dick Powell, Pat O'Brien and Ginger Rogers. Ray Enright is the director. The screen play is by Warren Duff and Harry Sauber, and Harry Warren and Al Dubin wrote the musical numbers, which have been directed by Busby Berkeley. Besides Dick Powell, Pat O'Brien and Ginger Rogers, the cast of "Hot Air" includes Allen Jenkins, Joseph Caw New Incorporations thorne, Joan Wheeler, Grant Mitchell, Johnny Arthur, Grace Hayle, Henry O'Neill, the Four Mills Brothers and Ted Fio Rito. * * * Almost a year and a half ago Mitzi Green, child actress and impersonator, left Hollywood to take up radio work. At that time she had just made a sensation in her characterization of "Little Orphan Annie," for RKO Radio. Today she is back in the screen capital, a poised, dignified ingenue, standing on the threshold of young girlhood and playing her first semi-grown up role. Adolphe Menjou, currently featured in George Raft's "The Trumpet Blows," has been handed the leading role in B. P. Schulberg's "Little Miss Marker," the Damon Runyon story which will feature Dorothy Dell, Jack LaRue and Cora Sue Collins. Production is slated to begin Feb. 12. Ralph Rainger and Leo Robin will write the music and lyrics for "Cosmetics" it is announced at the Paramount studios. This is the B. P. Schulberg picture to be made from the Hungarian stage success.
