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

Gags, comic situations, nutty inventions, goofy comedians, pretty girls tied to fast action in an hour and a quarter of pure fun. Goldberg's name is known wherever newspapers and magazines are read. September 28 JACK LONDON'S GREATEST STORY THE SEA WOLF with MILTON SILLS JANE KEITH RAYMOND HACKETT Directed by Alfred Santell "What I want I take!" he told her. She a woman alone and helpless on his ship. Wolf Larsen had the strength of a grizzly, the heart of a wolf, the brain of a genius. His crew broken and subdued. The woman's only defender a youngster whom Larsen could break between his fingers. Jack London's story is one of the world's best-loved. What a mighty picture it has made!
