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

DERR to PAT SCOLLARD: "I'll stake my reputation that HER MAN is the outstanding drama of the season. It's another HOLIDAY for the exhibitors." C.E. SULLIVAN to PAT SCOLLARD: "If HER MAN is not what the public wants, then the keenest critics in Hollywood are not good judges of pictures." PAT SCOLLARD to PHIL REISMAN: "Note attached wires from E.B. Derr and C.E. Sullivan. You saw a rough print of HER MAN when you were on the Coast. Evidently E. B. and Charlie are of the same opinion as you were." PHIL REISMAN to FIELD FORCE: "The enclosed wires from E. B. Derr and C. E. Sullivan confirm what I have broadcast to you since returning from the Studios.
