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

ERPI Service ... not just a word but Insurance against program interruption E R r I S nation-wide staff of engineers gives a new meaning to that much abused and mis-used word — "service". Ordinarily, it means rectifying trouble after something has gone wrong. ERPI SERVICE, however, means trouble prevention — a service of insurance. ERPI SERVICE actually has proven that it is more than 95% a preventive and less than 5% an emergency organization. ERPI SERVICE, therefore, is an absolute necessity to the theatre owner. Western Electric Sound Systems are designed and made with all the skill and care that goes into Bell System telephone apparatus. But no matter how will designed nor how well made delicate electrical or mechanical equipment maybe, constant care is the price of continuously satisfactory performance. ERPI SERVICE is your insurance — a small price for big returns. SOUND Westerm^Electric SYSTEM Northern I l«-«-i ri< In lanadn Distributed by Electrical Research Products Inc. 250 West 57th Street.
