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

Times Mr. Brenon, who has not been represented by any work on Broadway since his striking "Twelve Ten" which was at the Capitol, has again shown himself a CINEMATICIAN OF REMARKABLE ABILITY. Allison Smith — N. Y. Globe A film that is worthy of the SPIRITED AND MAGNETIC WORK of Miss Talmadge. The Evening Telegram Herbert Brenon has made a BEAUTIFUL PICTURE PLAY adhering closely to the spirit of the original and revealing convincing local color. Agnes Smith— N. Y. Telegraph With Norma Talmadge as its star and Herbert Brenon as its director, "The Passion Flower" in its motion picture version is ONE OF THE ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE FILM SEASON. Variety "The Passion Flower" is probably the STRONGEST PIECE NORMA TALMADGE HAS EVER APPEARED IN. Harriette Underhill— N. Y. Tribune Herbert Brenon has worked out the story in broad and sweeping lines. The storv is MORE POWERFUL ON THE SCREEN than it was in its stage version.
