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.

VARIETY Wednesday, Septembiir 25, 1935 EVERY PERSON who comes into your the- atre has read these headlines. Every daily paper that goes into his hands shouts that 1935 is an exciting, memorahle year. The world is living dangerously. jPiihiic iFeeling on vital issues has seldom run so high, been so sensitive. Constantly growing is the demand to know how this maelstrom of dra- matic developments will afifect the nation, business, every-day life. MARCH OF TIME No. 6 photo-reports three such headline stories:—the tangle of Italy, Ethiopia and England; the Bootleg Coal crisis; and what 600,000 boys are doing in CCC camps. Ferreting out hiddeni begin- ings and obscure developments on a hundred fronts, it brings to the screen twenty crisp' minutes of factual exciting entertainment that will make audiences think, feel and talk. Based on subjects of which the public is most conscious, and stimulated by aggressive advertising and exploitation, the MARCH OF TIME is no longer a box-office prediction. It's a box office production. RELEASED BY RKO-RADIO PICTURES
