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

We're Putting On Opr Christmo^ Whisk for the 23rd Time! ers It's up to us, as the oldtimers of the industry, to play SANTA CLAUS every year at this time with a bag full of pictures that'll pack 'em in during the holidays. Well, brothers, we've got 'em! (1) "COLLEGIATE"-a big fast -stepping musical show built expressly for the youngsters from fifteen to twenty-five. JOE PENNER and JACK OAKIE jam the show with laughs and FRANCIS LANGFORD, radio favorite, sings a flock of new tunes by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel. (2) "SCROOGE". . .Dickens' immortal "Christmas Carol," the kind of picture that'll please the kiddies and have mothers and fathers smiling through real tears. Sir Seymour Hicks, England's great Dickens actor, plays "Scrooge" ... anl the supporting English cast is swell! Everyone who thrilled to "David Copperfield" will want to see the equally famous Dickens character, "TINY TIM". So here's holiday entertainment for everybody. Which, permit us to mumble through our whiskers, means that, as usual,- <^s^H tyfrOMb ^r***^
