Wid's Year Book 1921-1922, the 1921 reference book with information and statistics from all facets of the film industry. Included is the comprehensive list of actors and actresses and their credits in the years 1921-1922. Also included are detailed lists of industry personnel and production companies as well as much information about distribution. If the unusual name "Wid" seems familiar, it is because Mr. Gunning started the most famous trade magazine in early Hollywood, "Wid's Daily" (the title was changed to "The Film Daily" after he sold it)! It was the number one source of information about the film industry (and later television) until it ceased publication in 1970. It was a must buy for everyone in the film industry. In addition to the daily edition, there was also a larger weekly version. Each issue had lots of statistics about current productions, and also ads as well. After Wid Gunning sold his publication, he produced (between 1921 and 1925) four Charles Dickens adaptations in Denmark for release in Scandinavian countries! He lost much of his fortune on those four movies, and turned to screenwriting.
