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.

Wednesaay, August 28, 1946 P^fUEfr 2S lege of elimination) all units of our regularly released output for a twelve month period com- mencmg with such of those subjects released subsequent to September x, 1946 and ending August 31, 1947. 4. In respect to Short Subjects and News, to those of our customers who prefer that they be offered individually we will comply with such desire and will license each issue independent of any other. If on the other hand, any of our customers pre- fer to license Short Subjects or News in* bulk, they may do so and a privilege of elimination will be granted. It must be obvious to everyone in the business that if, as, and when the opinions of the G>urt are incorporated into a decree, there will come about a drastic change in the general order of conducting many phases of our distribution business and the possibility of some changes in Our production plans. This may result in a slight delay in product availability or other unforseen incon- veniences occasioned by the time required to make the necessary adjustments to comply with the decree of the Court. If such results should be brought about, we earnestly solicit the patience and consideration of our customers. One of the first considerations in pur dis- tribution policy has been and will continue to be the welfare of our customers and our efforts will be earn- estly directed to the accomplishment of any necessary changes as expeditiously and as practically as they can be worked out. Our job in the motion picture industry is to make aDnd distribute great entertainments and we feel confident that our customers are just as anxious to demonstrate the virtues of good showmanship in the exhibition of such product. We therefore expect to continue, as as we may be permitted by law, to pursue the policies which have earned for us from our exhibitor customers the name of which we are so humbly proud—:The Friendly Company.
