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

24 DAILY Sunday, October 31, 1920 Nothing Particular to Exploit Unless You Want to Popularize the Star Box Office Analysis for the Exhibitor Wanda Hawley in "FOOD FOR SCANDAL" Realart This will make a suitable offering for passing entertainment especially in a house where unusual exploitation and advertising stunts arc not necessary to get your theater filled. If you are obliged to announce your coming attractions with a line as to what the story is about you can say : "What furnishes 'Food for Scandal'? In this case it's a young girl posing as a co-respondent because she needed funds." Play up the name of the star if you expect to show her future productions as a Realart player. Unless you cater to a transient crowd it might be well to get them interested in her and thus insure patronage when you announce her name the next time. For those who have read Paul Lester's book mention that the picture is an adaptation of "Beverly's Balance." W.
