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

"It will be Distributor's endeavor during the season 1931-1932 to maintain the highest possible standard of quality in Distributor's production consistent with the changing conditions in our industry and the taste of the motion picture audiences, bearing in mind that in the production of motion pictures creative genius is the foundation from which Distributor must build, it must be recognized that Distributor is dealing with an element that must adapt itself to the constant changes that are occurring in the public's demand for its amusement. This requires changes in story, plot or characters in order to meet this demand and to obtain the perfection in production which is Distributor's goal. With this end solely in mind Distributor must naturally reserve the right to change story, plot, cast and director to furnish you with the product that will bring the greatest return at your box office and Distributor therefore notifies you that the list of cast, story and director is only tentative and subject to change without notice, except that in such cases where a definite book or play is designated, such designation is to remain unchanged."
