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

'hursday, January 13, 1921 jM^ DAILY a* 27000.000 TIMES BIGGER THAN THE SUN is the newly discovered giant star, Betelgeuse, according to the astonishing announcement of the noted scientist, Professor Albert A., Michelson. But there is not much use in the knowledge of this fact unless it can be applied to things nearer to us, and used as a standard of more accurately measuring and appraising them. COMPARATIVELY SPEAKING therefore, and getting down to earth, this great scientific discovery can be of use to all exhibitors by reminding them that KATHERINE MACDONALD is growing in popularity and power 27,000,000 times faster than any other star on the screen. She was liked in "The Notorious Miss Lisle," admired in "Curtain" ; she will be loved in "My Lady's Latchkey", adored in "Trust Your Wife", and worshipped in "Stranger Than Fiction."
