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 Season's De Luxe SPECIAL REBOUND DONALD OGDEN STEWART'S SUPERB STAGE SUCCESS Adapted for Talking Picture Presentation with the Author's Personal Assistance « A Wide-awake, Ultra-Modern Play that won high praise from the great dramatic critics. « HEYWOOD BROUN said: "I'm distinctly for Donald Ogden Stewart's new play Rebound'. This is the best light comedy by anybody hereabouts in ten or twenty years. And it's not so damned light either." « ALEXANDER WOOLCOTT wrote: "I had a good time at your play. The finale of the second act is one of the most exciting things I ever saw in the theatre." « ROBERT BENCHLEY declared: "I like 'Rebound* enormously. It is only a humorist like Mr. Stewart who can be serious simultaneously with being funny." « JOHN ANDERSON asserted: "Altogether delightful. Its sly mixture of superb idiocy and compelling drama makes an evening of rare quality." « CHARLES DARNTON said: "Wholly refreshing and delightful. It is highly modern in being quite sensible about what it does and how it does it." Praise that's praise indeed!
