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

Presents "THE INVISIBLE WEB" Audiences will thrill with the wonder of this picture. Critics will assert it is one of the tensest dramas that has reached the screen. Until the surprising solution is worked out by a beautiful girl the tensest kind of mystery keeps the audience on the edge of its seat. Many people of wealth are involved, affording opportunity for beautiful sets and clothes. There is showmanship in every angle and twist of this picture. It spells success in each scene and unusual situation. Advertising and exploitation and publicity is thoroughly in keeping with the strength of the production. It's a distinctly different picture that'll be disposed of quickly. Considerable territory already sold. FIDELITY PICTURES CO., INC. 1 1 7 West 46th St., New York City
