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

WALKAWAY 1 here is always one sure, quick proof of a product's success. That is. Is it being bought? . . . The booking results on Pathe Comedies show, as scientifically as analysis can, that the "pretties" who dance all over and through them are literally walking away with the nation's comedy business! . . . Thousands of theatres, scores of the most powerful circuits in the theatre industry, have recognized the pulling power of the Path6 laugh product and are novi playing these comedies for all they re worth. These include such impressive names as PubUx, Loew's, Keith's, RKO, Fox, Stanley, Comerford, ' Butterfield and so many others that space does not permit anything like a full list . . . The reason is obvious: 25 years of comedy leadership; btiilt by experts for box-office stimulation: combining gags, girls, and guffaws — Path6 Comedies rule the roost !
