Description:
A New York-based daily trade paper published by Martin Quigley. The companion to Quigley's better known weekly publication, MOTION PICTURE HERALD, and a direct competitor to THE FILM DAILY, which was also published out of New York. Established in 1930, MOTION PICTURE DAILY enjoyed a circulation of roughly 5,000 readers most years of its four decades in print (a nearly identical circulation to THE FILM DAILY, but only one third of the readership of MOTION PICTURE HERALD, which reached a wider audience of exhibitors). In the 1930s, the MOTION PICTURE DAILY's editor, Maurice Kann, called on the movie industry to shift more production back to the East Coast. Any productions that filmed in New York received ample attention. New York City never regained its production lead over Hollywood, but the major studios used the Big Apple for their corporate and distribution headquarters. As a result, MOTION PICTURE DAILY tended to focus on economic and regulatory issues confronting the film industry. -- Eric Hoyt, 2014

T T ERE is an item of program fare which has moments of amusement *■ * and a spot or two of excitement, which may prove reasonably satisfying to the fans who like a touch of action and are not too critical. The cast, with little of marquee quality to offer, is headed by Forrest Tucker, Carol Hughes, Evelyn Brent and Emmett Vogan. It is concerned with an invention for remote radio control of planes developed by Tucker and Vogan, and brings in an attempt on the part of unnamed foreign agents to steal a new type of bomber produced by the plane company for which Tucker is test pilot. Miss Hughes, the manufacturer's daughter, has a run-in with the pilot, and when she is stranded with her aunt, Miss Brent, near the desert shack where Tucker and Vogan are working, he decides to teach her a lesson, and sets her to work for her keep as his prisoner, she having "stolen" gasoline for her car. A number of implausibilities are glossed over, but have little effect on the film as a whole. The romantic conclusion is quite as anticipated. W illiam Beaudine directed and Jed Buell produced.
