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

AUTHOR: Octavus Roy Cohen, whose delightful stories in the Saturday Evening Post are marked by a unique and highly fascinating tang of originality. CAST: Kenneth Harlan, Willard Louis, Florence Deshon, Richard Tucker and other well-known performers. DIRECTOR: Harry Beaumont. STORY: Madge Kennedy is seen as Hazel Farron, a chorus girl, whose experience back stage has not yet served to rub the silver off her dreams. Out of a job and desperately hungry. Hazel sees a sign outside a bakery: "Stale buns, Two for a SAMUEL GOLDWYN Cent." She has just two cents left, and buys some buns — "for her pet pom." The baker, young and warm-hearted, sees through her subterfuge, and slips a silver dollar into each bun. Then begins a business partnership. Hazel works in the bakery and learns at last why holes are put in doughnuts. After a series of deliciously funny adventures in the bakery Hazel suddenly realizes that the young baker has stolen her heart. She has to choose between poverty in the humble bake-shop and luxury under the protection of the wealthy Stanhope, a persistent admirer. The story works up to an indescribably tender climax, in which the young pair of lovers discover that honesty and a kind heart are still the most valuable assets in life. The best of all Madge Kennedy pictures and a splendid attraction for any house. PRESENTS MADGE KENNEDY IN DOLLARS AND SENSE by Octavus Roy Cohen Directed by HARRY BEAUMONT :
