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.

HUROE I N the last twenty-five years more musical and theatrical entertcdnment per capita has been consumed than, in the thousand years up to 1918. In that same quarter of a century S. Hurok has most con- sistently supplied the demand for the finest in ballet, concert/ opera and drama; and despite current transportation difficulties his record for fulfilled bookings remains unbroken. Satisfying and shaping the public's desire, he has many times uncovered great talent previously unrecognized. Today his poster of blazing stars represents through the length and breadth of the entertainment world the epitome of good taste and box-office drawing power. BUT WU (and More) BONDS For 1943 S.
