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

16 iMA DAILY Sunday, June 19, 1921 The Star's Name And Attractive Locations Good Talking Points Box Office Analysis for the Exhibitor Edith Roberts in "THUNDER ISLAND" Universal If your folks like "pretty" pictures they'll be well satisfied with Edith Roberts' latest. It is really good to look at, and stills in the lobby will be certain to bring them inside to see more. Exhibitors who usually show Universal product and have played any recent pictures with Miss Roberts should please their audiences with "Thunder Island." The title may have some drawing power, but it isn't particularly pertinent, so you might use it in conjunction with the following: "Near the Gulf of California is a small island near which is buried a precious treasure. Edith Roberts will take you to 'Thunder Island' in her latest Universal picture." Tell them about the dual role, showing pictures of the star as both brother and sister. If you can secure a short trailer to show prior to the regular showing, you will probably get them interested. The star's name will attract also. ■ For your next Press Sheets, Inserts, Heralds or any other material you may need, phone for our representative.
