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

Western Electric Sound System is manufactured — not merely assembled Loud speakers, transformers, tubes — all the parts through which the speech current flows — are designed by Bell Telephone Laboratories and manufactured by Western Electric. Every part is perfectly balanced electrically to work in harmony and at highest efficiency with every other part. Each is designed and manufactured to fit mechanically and electrically into its place in the complete system. The result is electrical teamicork — and quality reproduction — such as no assembled system can hope to equal. Many of the parts which go into the Western Electric Sound System are similar to those used in the nation's telephone system. They are the results of more than fifty years of research and experience in the manufacture of voice transmission apparatus. The Western Electric Sound System is built to produce the highest standard of quality reproduction demanded by a quality conscious public — and to render that service dependably over a long period. It does not sacrifice quality for price. Western Electric's undivided responsibility — covering the manufacture, installation and servicing of its Sound System — is your assurance of high quality, trouble-free performance.
