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.

A Great Idea. A Great Lyric. Great Melody. Great Harmony "NOW I'LL RAISE AN ARMY OF MY OWN" BY ROGER LEWIS AND ERNIE ERDMAN. CHORUS FIRST VERSE /" The war has started, yes, the war has started, I've just come from a battle but I heard no bullets rattle. Still I had to fight, fight with all my might, Keep my arms advancing, advancing left and right. The enemy was hid behind a fort of golden hair. The war was started by her baby stare. I've had a battle all my own, I had to battle for love and for home; Now a treaty's signed, it's a funny kind, Terms of peace are love and kisses, And a miss is now a missus, I laid a siege right to her heart, But I could not win alone, My Allies were the candy shops, My ammunition choc'-late drops, Now I'll raise an army of my own. SECOND VERSE The war is over, yes, the war is over, A flag of truce is flying on our home, there's no denying, Cupid led each fray, helped me night and day, Soon the girl surrendered, and gave her heart away, Our engagement was the kind of which the poets like to sing, And now she's captive in a golden ring.
