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

AND HERE'S WHAT THE DIRECTOR AND CAST THINK ABOUT IT • • • TAY GARNETT: "It is the meatiest story, the most aptly cast production I have ever had the privilese of directing. If it does not prove a sensation at the box affice, I'm neither a prophet nor a director." HELEN TWELVETREES: "My role of 'Frankie' in HER MAN is the greatest opportunity I have had in pictures. It is the sort of part that comes to an actress once in a lifetime." MARJORIE RAMBEAU: "I am indeed grateful for the opportunity of making my debut on the talking screen in a characterization that in its sheer realism and humanism equals anything I have ever done on the stage " RICARDO CORTEZ: "It's a privilege to be given a screen role offering such colorful possibilities as that of 'Johnie' in HER MAN." w\ I W*& PHILLIPS HOLMES: "Being a relative newcomer to the talking screen I can frankly say that I am thrilled beyond words at having such a glorious opportunity offered me so early in my new career." JAMES GLEASON "It's a darb — and no foolin'."
