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

vV COLO* A FRESH ANGLE on comedy entertainment in a brand new series of one-reel novelty comedies MACK SENNETT BREVITIES Mack Sennett Brevities bring that "something new under the sun" which every real showman is always looking for. They are good comedy because Mack Sennett is making them. But they combine a new element of novelty with the comedy— and do it all in natural colors — and all talking, of course. "THE BLUFFER" with Andy Clyde Lincoln Stedman Patsy O'Leary Gaylord Pendleton "Destined to cause a stir in film circles . . . really funny, and refreshing. Educational will release a series of twelve of these. Educational should shake hands with itself . . . something different . . . something of real merit." — Exhibitors Daily Review and Motion Pictures Today "TAKE YOUR MEDICINE" tmith Andy Clyde Frankie Eastman Patsy ©*«Leary Vernon Dent "The second . . . keeps step with the first . . . The color as in "The Bluffer" is, we repeat, the nearest approach to perfection this reviewer has seen." ^Exhibitors Daily Review and Motion Pictures Today S3 ■=r^-:?:c w THE SPICE OFTHE PROGRAM' EDUCATIONAL FILM EXCHANGES, Inc., E. w. h \mmo\s, Premldemt Member, Motion Picture Producers and Distributor* of America.
