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

TIMES An adaptation of a play that happened to be a strongly and beautifully written dramatic work . . . I suspect, indeed, that "The Animal Kingdom," may even be among the American classics for some time to come ... A beautifully directed and recorded film, and a tasteful, impeccable production, make it quite a bit superior to the general run of films . . . JOHN S. COHEN, JR., N. Y.
