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

It's five o'clock, Tuesday, December 30, 1947. The people of Canon City, Colorado, are preparing for another quiet winter evening. Snow is just beginning to fall. Dusk almost hides the grim silhouette of the State Penitentiary on the edge of town. Suddenly it happens! A siren screams — then another— and another— shattering the air itself with their terrifying wails. jiKf' Twelve desperate convicts — murderers, kidnappers — armed with crude shotguns, clubs and knives have battered their blood-mad way to freedom in the most spectacular jailbreak of our time! ^ , , Dragging as hostages four brutally beaten guards, they force their frenzied way into homes at gun point. A ■ ■ Thus began in Canon City a three day reign of terror that startled the nation with screaming headlines from coast-to-coast ... a reign of terror broken only when the town fought back!
