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

// PLEASE BE PATIENT! // The opening engagements of "TARZAN ESCAPES" have been so successful that showmen are asking us for reproductions of the promotion campaigns, to use in their own cities. These campaigns are just coming in from all parts of the country (they're swell!) and within a few days we will print them in the trade press. Meanwhile we urge our showmen friends to ballyhoo " TARZAN ESCAPES" like a circus. It's fun to exploit and the results are marvelous. "TARZAN ESCAPES" in its first engagements is beating M-G-M's previous Tarzan success! America loves this unique character — and there's only one Johnnie Weissmuller! So shoot the works ! And watch the papers to see how other showmen are cleaning up with it!
