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

u MR. ROSS HAS THE FLOOR!" "To all brother exhibitors: We have just finished playingTRADER HORN at our Durfee Theatre, Fall River, Mass., and after a very successful run played to capacity business, we are bringing the picture back for a return engagement. It is my honest, serious, and candid opinion that any exhibitor who does not play this picture is not only losing money, but is depriving his community of seeing the best thrill picture that has ever been shown."
