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

^ W, 44t!i St. 3Ist nocff Sew jf^vk ^« 1^» She owes her ^Vipe old age" to him • • • HOWEVER skillfully she might play her part^ this young actress would still seem more girl than grandmother — save for the creative ingenuity of the make-up man. By deft application of grease paint and putty, he has added years to her appearance . . . and conviction to her role. This is but one instance of the magic at the make-up man's command. He does as much and more for fihn folk who must be transformed to Jekyll, Cyrano, gnome, or Manchu. When these characterizations reach audiences successfully, it is because the make-up man combines cosmetic artistry with full know^ledge of his medium. And, in knowing films, he is aware of what is done to help his work by the versatile members of the Eastman motion picture family, famous films for more than fifty years.
