Description:
Founded in 1905 by Sime Silverman, Variety is the best known and most important trade paper in the history of American entertainment. Variety began as a New York weekly publication covering vaudeville, however, its scope expanded over time to include legitimate theatre, burlesque, motion pictures, radio, and television (transitions that the MHDL will eventually document within this record). In 1933, Daily Variety was launched in Los Angeles to offer in-depth coverage of the motion picture industry and serve as a competitor to The Hollywood Reporter, which was founded 'on the Coast' in 1930. In March 2013, Variety's owner ended the print edition of Daily Variety, though as of this writing, the weekly publication and a website offering non-stop news updates still exist. Variety may ultimately be best remembered for its integration of show business slang into entertainment trade coverage. Boffo. Hokum. Quickies. Svelte. Climaxer. Tenpercenter. Coastlander. Skein.

Gardenier s last and best lyric, written five days before his death. The music is by 6US EDWARDS Mem'ry strays to other days When I was small. A little maid with hair in braid, I now recall. Proudly to the schoolhouse rata, Just at eight—books and slate— X would carry as I'd tarry With my little schoolmate. CHORUS Schoolmates we. Ton and me. Since the day ws learned to say our "A. B. 0." Love notes and glances passed to and fro. Schoolmates. Playmates. Not so many years ago. Tears have flown and we have grown, Old schoolmate mine. But still I hear in fancy, dear, The clock strike nine. As yon'd call out tenderly Wait for me—after three. School hours over, through the olover, We'd stroll home so merry.
