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

gOXOFOCfc A MOTION PICTURE SAFARI BEYOND ALL OTHERS! Producer Darryl F. Zanuck and director John Huston have gone where none have ever gone before... they have trekked 13,500 miles— deep into the world's darkest corner... far into a French Equatorial Hell... to film an entertainment of unsurpassed realism. Here is an African Odyssey beyond all others... a strange jungle expedition that took them beyond Mbassi, point-of-no-return ... beyond the sacred secret place where the elephants make their deathpilgrimages ... beyond the Cameroons to bring you Romain Gary's prize-winning best-seller. Seldom has human endurance been pushed so far ...to create an entertainment that reaches so deep... for everything that lies between man and God is in "The Roots of Heaven".
