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

And your patrons — they're going to be tickled, too. Especially when they hear about the new Paramount-Drew Comedies. For a long, long time, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew have hoped for just one thing — They've wanted to take their time. One one-reel comedy a week, they were making. Fifty-two reels a year. They were rushed to death. No wonder they took a rest. Now under their new arrangement with the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, they are to make one two-reel comedy a month. Twenty-four reels a year instead of fifty-two. And they'll be, of course, vastly fun-j nier, vastly better than the ones they made in a hurry. Watch for the Paramount-Drew Com, edies. The first one will be ready in January. I FAMOUS PLAYERS 7IASKY CORPORATION ADOLPH ZUKORPres. JESSE L.LASKY Vice Pres. CECIL B.DZMWLE DirectorQenerul <~NEW YORIO • V
