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

IN WONDER UNO /DEAUSM? W/TTDO YOU SAY? m by Marian Anderson Tfic world-famous contralto It is the children of America who give me the greatest faith in her future. Recently, after a concert, I found a little girl of thirteen waiting to speak to me at the stage door. "Tell me, Miss Anderson," she said, "is there anything I can do to bring about better understanding between your people and mine?" When I think about this little girl, I do not worry about the future of America. I see that in this child's generation or the next, tolerance, justice and equality, the ideals of our forefathers, and the aims for which our soldiers fought side by side, will be within the reach of all of us. "This isn't just a social call, Dennis," she said. "Phil sent me — to see if you'd do a couple of arrangements for him. You did some slick ones before you went away. He'd like you to try your hand at two oldies that are coming back." "My good hand, I assume." "Her cheeks flamed. "Look, Dennis," she said, "you've been through a rough time, but you're making it worse. Phil talked to your doctor. He says you may not be able to play the piano again, but the nerves will heal and you'll have more use of your arm than you have now." "What's the use of going into all this?" I demanded. "I know what's left for me. Why can't you and the rest of the gang leave me alone? Besides, I don't need the money." She stepped back. "You forget, don't you, that people don't always do things for money?" She went out quickly . . . rr makes you w/nk These bits-size samples from TRUE CONFESSIONS indicate the character of every issue.
