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.

BR OWN JACK GOLDEN AND HIS COMPANY OF 30 PEOPLE AT THE AMERICAN THEATRE. SAN FRANCISCO. INDEFINITE Beautiful Costumes—Clean Comedy talk to advantage. There Is too much of It. Ma honey was formerly of Clark, Bergman and Mahoney. Miss Tremont appears to be able to handle a song all right and they could shape their act better than It Is at present. John Huckor won his share of the honors with songs, talk and a bit of stepping tacked on ut the finish. Rucker Is a good deal funnier than many of the colored men posing as star comedians, and he can tell stuff as funny as any one. Springer and Church made a long Jump from the west to show their sketch here and won a liberal amount of favor with It. The sketch deals with a man, his wife and a dummy, used to impersonate his mother-in- low. There are two or three very good situ- ations in the sketch which bring laughs, and Springer and Church handle their material well. The sketch Is talky and drags consid- erably at times, owing to this weakness. It makes a laughing act where sketches are liked, but does not promise anything above the "pop" class of time. The Nelsons are a couple of local youngsters getting quite an early start. They work earnestly, singing well for children and display plenty of assur- ance, l'lctures as usual.
