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 •lUUHU .illliilL \A BUILD YOUR OWN HOUSE % LESS THAN A CONTRACTOR CAN BUILD IT I have arranged with a large lumber com- ^oo^^Qg pany in Michigan to furnish for people of the PROFESSION knock-down houses, (NOT PORTABLE), complete with lumber, hardware, nails, plaster, paint for two coats, inside and outside—for about one half the cost of the raw material. THESE BUILDINGS come cut to fit, marked and with plans, so that any one who can drive a nail can put them together, and when finished are the same as any first-class carpenter will build. They are shipped direct to you from the mill in Michigan and you save all middleman's profit, as you buy at catalogue price, and pay no more. If you are going to build, let me hear from you.
