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

There was a long line waiting for them yesterday morning when the doors of the theatre were unlocked." — New York Daily News "GUSTS OF LAUGHTER" "It has the same reprehensible sort of fun, which succeeded in provoking the much-desired gusts of laughter from an audience at the first showing yesterday afternoon." — New York Times "FAST MOVING" "Fast moving and vigorously acted by McLaglen and Lowe, 'Women of All Nations' probably will be enjoyed by those who laughed themselves out of their seats at The Cock Eyed World'." — New York Herald Tribune "GREAT FUN" "The picture is lavishly produced, with girls galore, and elaborate settings. The dialogue is frank; the gags daring. Though two years have passed since they first appeared on the screen, and the movies have become ever more daring, Flagg and Quirt are still great fun. 'Women of All Nations' is loaded with laughs." — New York Daily Mirror P«X Raoul Walsh's WOMEN %Il NATIONS "IS LOADED WITH LAUGHS" ' • VICTOR McLAGLEN EDMUND LOWE GRETA NISSEN EL BRENDEL FIFI DORSAY MARJORIE WHITE A comedy drama with the characters Quirt and Flagg originally created by Laurence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson
