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

^ ion of Hollywood Pre-view Verdict: ACCLAMATION E LEAPS FROM THE DAILY PRESS ■ V. il Sf0v ft'/ 'J ^i^'i-: :':■ i^wJSBS^V:--/:.'vi*SSSSS»i«!.-:- ■.•:'42 fei* .■ Iff I Irene Thirer, Daily News "Terrific thrills . . . 'Cimarron' is magnificent in scope, powerful in treatment, admirable in acting. Richard Dix's work is superb. We can't describe the grandeur . . . punch and the appeal of 'Cimarron.' This is one picture you can't afford to miss. It is 1931 's first great contribution to the screen. We loved every minute of it!" Regina Crewe, American. "Thunder in the streets! One of the most dynamic dramas that ever rent the heavens of Hollywood flung its might across the screen at the Globe theatre when that stirring saga 'Cimarron' was shown to an audience alternately rocked with mirth and shaken with tears... Sets a mark for all that follow." James Gow, Morning World "Tremendously moving representation of empire building... Presents new and vigorous material . . . Richard Dix and Irene Dunne are superb . . . A splendid work." Mordaunt Hall, Times "Graphic and engrossing ... a stupendous undertaking. Dix gives a fine impersonation . . . Most intelligently directed by Wesley Ruggles . . . Irene Dunne is excellent." Rose Pelswick, Journal "Great picturization of a superb story. Replete with human interest action and romance . . . reproduced with a vivid realism and dramatic sweep that holds one's interest throughout. Dix gives the finest performance of his career . . . Absorbing direction by Wesley Ruggles. ..Decidedly well worth seeing." George Gerhard, Evening World "Once in a blue moon a motion picture is produced which a commentator may refer to as a masterpiece ..'Cimarron' is such a picture. Not only a great picture; it is great history. Dix will go down in film history as 'Yancey Cravat'. Irene Dunne sailed with full rigging right into brilliant stardom. Miss Dunne is little short of a revelation." he day and date exhibition smash Feb. 6, 7, 8 in Nation's Foremost Theatres
