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

, f*%% WANDA HAWLEY IN THE OUTSIDE WOMAN (REALART) A delightful, high-grade farce, insuring a. corner in laughs wherever shown. Star stunning and cast capable. A lavishly appointed domestic drama, generous with complex situations cleverly coordinated and entertainingly developed. Direction by Sam Wood. "The Outside Woman" is a picture far above the grade of the average comedy-drama and of the high calibre that is making conspicuous practically every picture play coming currently from Re?iart. " Wanda Hawley, dainty as a Dresden china figurine and as delicate of per•son, but lively of movement, is .one of the cleverest comediennes yet brought to the screen. There is a novelty of plot with characteristic good development, a liveliness of action that crowds one complication upon anotnei, a cast which plays with a keen appreciation of the play's possibilities, and backgrounds^ highly artistic. The picture is a radical departure ho\ "The Snob." The part of "Pu=j Ralston, whi'5 that of ' • ,#* i &&*&. N/* if €5 Ti m ,%>* REALART PICTURES CORPORATION 469 FIFTH AVENUE NEW YORK
