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

Many theater patrons prefer the back seats. They enjoy the added eye comfort which distance gives when viewing rapid action on the screen. However, they desire sufficient screen illumination for easy vision. They are critical but, for this very reason, are likely to become regular patrons of the theater that provides the type of projection they enjoy. With old style, low intensity projection there SIMPLIFIED WujhW\9nl&nsttu is often insufficient screen light for ease of vision much beyond the center of the auditorium. Patrons in the rear find vision an effort, and may seek their screen entertainment elsewhere in the future. Simplified High Intensity projection provides screen illumination that insures comfortable vision to every patron in the house. Ask your J dealer's salesman to show you how little it costs to satisfy the "back seat patrons."
