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

A hundred film folk become famous and rate as millionaires © FOR 15 YEARS FILM DAILY HAS ACCURA Film Daily Celebrat Film Daily is happy with the modest part it has played in the progress of this great, international motion picture industry during the past fifteen years.
