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

OPEN MARKET BUYERS Mr. S. L. Rothapfel's enthusiastic approval of Maurice Tourneur's newest production "Woman" will be re-echoed by every progressive exhibitor who books this picture. The Rivoli "TRIUMPH OF THE MOTION PICTURE" Broadway at 49th Street Operated in conduction with THE RIALTO Times Square Personally Directed by S. L. ROTHAPFEL Co ®uv $atrcmg IT is not often that I permit myself to become enthusiastic to the extent of endorsing a film production, but the beauty and novelty of Mr. Maurice Tourneur's latest spectacle, entitled "Woman," compels me to proclaim it one of the most remarkable motion pictures I have ever seen. It gives me pleasure to announce that this masterpiece will be shown at the Rivoli for the week beginning Sunday, October 27th. The production will be given a musical and scenic setting worthy of its superlative merit. Owing to the length and magnitude of the work, no additional pictorial feature other than the current release of the Creel Committee's official allied war review will be shown on the program. I earnestly urge every devotee of the motion picture to witness this latest example of Mr. Tourneur's art. Faithfully, Managing Director.
