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.

Once down it cuts off all draft—and its steel reinforce- ment makes it so strong that it withstands any possible air pressure. Jfvl Vitribestos Curtain consists of a structural frame covered on the stage side by one inch of J-M Vitribestos fireproof sheets and on the side next to the audience, by a sheet of steel with four or five inches of "dead air" space in the center as ai\ additional insulation. A test has shown that the J-M Vitribestos sheet on the stage side of the curtain withstands a blow torch flame giving 1500 degrees of heat. This test continued for 15 minutes, produced a temperature of only 155 degrees on the other side of the curtain! Write our nearest branch for booklet. H. W. JOHNS-MANVILLE CO.
