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

U. S. Army Signol Corps Photo WORLD PREMIERE -in Normandy Overseas troops — to ease the inevitable waiting — now see more and more movies No "third-run" shows for the boys in Europe, either . They've been getting world premieres . . . are still seeing the cream of the Hollywood crop, in barns, halls, any available bit of space . . as part of a vast entertainment program. Many pictures that would rate brass bands and floodlights at a Hollywood opening now get their initial showings where they'll lift the spirits of weary fighting men — men waiting for redeployment to the Pacific — or "standing guard" in Europe. The morale value of movies to our armed forces cannot be overestimated. Motion pictures fill an important prescription — during this difficult transition period.
