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

mm 14 iMfa DA3LV Sunday, January 23, 1920 You Can Talk About Good Climax and Mention Author's Name. Box Office Analysis for the Exhibitor Thomas Meighan in "THE FRONTIER OF THE STARS" Paramount If you think Thomas Meighan's appearance will be sufficient to satisfy them you may get by with "TinFrontier of the Stars," although it is not a very strong crook story. The part of "Buck Leslie," doesn't provide Meighan with enough to do. He has a couple of good scraps but the rest of the time he spends chatting with the little cripple girl on the roof of the tenament. This is a bit tame for a crook. The climax is a good one so it may be that they will forget the slow business in the early reels and go out satisfied with the finish. If you can rely on this to satisfy them, you can book "The Frontier of the Stars" safely enough. Tell them it's an Albert Payson Terhune story and that it ran as a serial in the All Star Weekly magazine. You might use Faire Binney's name if you think well of it. Catchlines would attract and other exploitation ideas can be gotten from the press sheet provided by Paramount.
