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

BELGIUM-The Kingdom of Grief A Historic Pageant NOT a War Film THE BROOKLYN INSTITUTE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Founded 1824 Department of Education Director, Charles D. Atkins Office, Academy of Music. November 5, 1918. Classic Films Distributing Co., The Algonquin Hotel, New York City. Gentlemen : — The Members of the Institute appreciated the opportunity of viewing your great film Picture entitled "Belgium, the Kingdom of Grief." Every chair in our Hall, seating about 2,400, was filled and many were unable to secure admission. The Picture is an interesting and vivid portrayal of the History of Belgium and of her period of devastation and suffering. In the course of the hour and three-quarters that the Picture was on the screen, I saw no one leave the Hall, a striking tribute to the interest aroused. We are glad to be able to announce to our Members that two additional presentations of the Picture will be given. Yours very truly, CHARLES D. ATKINS, Director. The pictorial paper furnished with "Belgium, the Kingdom of Grief" is from Original Drawings by noted French and Belgian Artists and has never been equaled by any Motion Picture publicity. Twenty four, eight and six sheets, two threes and three one sheets, lithographs, designed by a noted Belgian artist and printed in National colors. The National Song, La Brabanncon, for souvenir. Also story in attractive book form entitled "Belgium, the Kingdom of Grief." Distributors: Classic Film Distributing Co NEW YORK CITY M. L. Fulton 59 West 44th Street
