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

'OOD COMEDY was never in such demand or of such importance as it is today. It is a vital, an essential, part of the new screen entertainment. In a year and a half of the talking comedy it has won an enthusiastic public approval, and has enabled exhibitors to build programs that are more satisfying as entertainment and more economical in cost. It is the theatre's one best bet to appeal to the juvenile patronage that has been drifting away. The youngsters can understand and enjoy the comedy, and will come to see it. This new meaning of the comedy makes it a matter that calls for the most careful thought in your planning for the coming season. EDUCATIONAL is the one sure, safe place to turn for it. Though acknowledged Short Feature leaders for more than ten years, EDUCATIONAL PICTURES have never stood out so far ahead of the field. Their leadership since they ushered in the New Day of the Comedy with their first sound releases
