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.

KENNEY™ HOLLIS The Original College Students RUSH, week March 26, 1807: "Kenney and Hollls get away with an entertaining conversation in 'one.' The comedian has a quantity of erratic talk that won laughter, and both In bis dressing and work makes the sissy funny. Tarodlea st the end earned the pair recalls." BOBEBT SPEAKS, V. Y. Telegraph, Tuesday, Maroh 26, 1007. "One of the funnleat acta and quite the liveliest on the list Is that of Kenney and Hollls, who appear made up aa a couple of Percy Ribbon counters and swap all sorts of foolish conversation. Nine out of ten sissy comedlsns are tiresome and not particularly edifying. Aa a general propoal- AMERICAN, NEW YORK, week of May 10th tlon tbe 'Oh, Llzsle' type Is not to be encoursged, but Kenney is an exception. He Is a big young man with a grotesquely lackadaisical manner, and while be switches and smirks and simpers about the stage until you feel be badly needs a flicker on tbe wrist, he is never offensive. He kept tbe big audience yesterday afternoon In a continuous titter and showed himself to be s comedian of originality and judgment." MB. GEORGE QUTOLEY wrote an sot for us. Don't tell others you were tbe first two College Students, becsuse Managers know we played the big time for two years.
