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

NOT A FIGHT PICTURE But a massive, breath-catching melodrama of the Southwest, in which the star is simply an ADDED ATTRACTION— an offering, which in the excellence of its production, the genius of its direction, the drawing power of its star and the general appeal of its story, challenges the biggest successes of the screen, without exception. A TRULY BIG "SPECIAL" A picture with all the sure elements of certain drawing power, plus a star, who for the next few months will command more interest probably than any other single individual before the public— a celebrity big in stature, big in screen personality and big in following, presented at a time when the attention of multitudes will be greatest.
