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.

Wrdnosday, December 2, 1942 r CARROLL NOTICE lu June, 1941, we presented to the public at the EARL CARROLL THEATRE RESTAURANT in Hollywood, California, an outstanding musical production entitled, "SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT/* Large sums were expended by us to create and publicize this musical revue, which played for 6 months at the aoove theatre, and was established as one of the outstanding "Hits*' in the field of entertainment. More than one year ago we did, in good faith, establish priority in the use of the name, "SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT,*' and it has now come to our attention that without our authoriza* tion or consent, the title of our musical revue, "SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT," has been taken for a motion picture production soon to be released through a major motion picture company for distribution and exhibition to the public. Notice has been served by us on the producer of said motion picture and the motion picture company through which the pio< ture will be released, that we will avail ourselves of appropriate legal remedies. Further Notice is hereby given that we will hold each and everyone answerable for damages resulting from the unauthorized use of "SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT."
