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

SOME of the big scenes in "The White Heather" were taken seven fathoms down, produced by the use of the Williamson Submarine Tube and patented inventions. Maurice Tourneur has produced another whopping melodramatic success. He has transformed another Drury Lane melodrama into a visualization of scenic charm, possessing a punch and a thrill that will find a huge response in motion picture audiences. Presented with enormous success at the Rialto, New York. Newspapers and trade press give the production unqualified praise. A production of assured box-office value.
