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. We're still feeling zowied. -- Eric Hoyt, 2013

MR. J AND THE V. M. P. A. I want everyone to know what a wonderful man you are, MR. ALBEE. No doubt every- one knows of the serious accident that befell n e on August 12, 1920, but they do not know the wonderful kindnesses extended to me by you during my long period of illness, although I have not worked for the U. B. O. for twelve years. Had I been one of their big stars I could not have received greater consideration or more courteous treatment from the moment of my accident until the final settlement. I have known that MR. ALBEE was the rock on which I could lean. Not only did he offer me financial assistance (which, thank God, I did not need), but he also offered me legal assistance. »'.' " i If I lived one thousand years and thanked him every hour it could never express the heartfelt gratitude I feel for this wonderful man. Also I wish to take this means of thanking MR.
