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

sday, June 21, 1921 11^ * \ DAlUV M^ POLA NEGRI IN "INFATUATION" or "THE POUSH DANCER" (FIVE REELS) AND 'THE GOVERNESS" (SIX REELS) The negatives of these two features are hereby offered for sale for the territory of United States and Canada. It can be unqualifyingly stated that this is the first time since the tremendous ovation given this incomparable screen artist that any production featuring Pola Negri has been offered to the independent National distributor. What the magical name of Pola Negri means to the exhibitor needs no "sales arguments" nor expressions of creative imagination from the facile pen of the advertising writer. Her nationally acclaimed work in "Passion" and "Gypsy Blood" heralds her a box office attraction second to none. (The exhibitor who disavows this is rare.) The distributor will be able to purchase these two features at a price that will permit him to sell the territorial exchange man at a figure beyond any competition with any Pola Negri production distributed in the past or scheduled for release in the future. The terms are cash, and negotiations will be conducted with principals only. Screenings arranged for in order of application. Address J. A. LEVINSON 1600 BROADWAY (8th Floor) PHONE, BRYANT 7697-8-9
