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.

ClRRUTHEKS, majestib theatre bids., CHICA60, ILL. St. Joe, Mo., Sept. 15. Empire Circuit Co., New York City, N. Y. Gentlemen: — The engagement of Watson's liurlesquere at the Lyceum Theatre here Sept. 12, 13 and 14 was satisfactory in every respect, but especially so with respect to the comedy lines. There was nothing suggestive in the entire performance, while a substantial increase in receipts every day at a theatre where the patron- age is one-third ladies was the best evidence that the show pleased. If the Empire shows to follow are as clean and of the same high order as Watson's, they can all look for a capacity business here. Very truly yours, (Signed) C. M. PHILLEY.
