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

AILV Sunday, August 25, 1918 in Chicago during this week, of September 2nd to 8th. Don't figure that this is none of your business, because, believe me, it is, and certainly if you want to get something done, and you all agree that things need to be done, this is the time and place to start it. I will be at the Congress Annex and hope to see every one of you fellows in Chicago, willing to get up and talk out in meeting, because this is the first genuine opportunity for a national gathering where everyone can say what they have to say with the fellow they want to say it to on hand to listen. Don't tell me you can't afford to be there because of business finances or anything else, because I tell you that your finances and business depend upon your getting certain things done and the best way to start towards getting things done is just such a meeting as this, where some reasonable reforms can be given the proper momentum. I will expect to see you— and you — and you. Make reservation now because sleepers are hard to get at the last minute.
