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

The shortest distance between buyer and seller is through the trade paper in each trade territory that is of vital interest to every exhibitor in that territory — the closest contact between distributor and buyer — champion of the exhibitor cause ; champion of the industry in combatting anti-legislation in the states in its region; the clarion call for solidified strength against outside foes; the unfailing aid in any LOCAL crisis, many times national in importance to the industry. . . just multiply that by ten and you have the important part that is being played in the progress of this industry every week by the ten Associated Publications — the trade papers with the all-powered local appeal, but as a unit national in strength.
