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.

"Watching these seven youths perform is like watching a multi-ring circus, and it's im- possible not to pay attention. Group cuts loose with everything forte and mobile in its 40-minute stint, shouting, singing, stomping, jabbering, comedizing and blasting instru- mets till the rafters shake. "Treniers are a cinch to do good biz in their fortnighter." Les. "TRENIERS BEST COMBO IN YEARS." By Robert Sylvester, N. Y. Daily News. "By all odds the most exciting musical act to come along in years is a group called the Treniers." CHEZ PAREE, Chicago • BILLBOARD By STEVE SCHICKEL "The Treniers literally broke up the house.
