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. We're still feeling zowied. -- Eric Hoyt, 2013

BILLY (Original) WATSON AND HIS BIG GIRLIE SHOW Brighter funnier THAN EVLR This will be the Banner Season, financially or otherwise, in- Billy "Original" Watson's thirty three years' experience. Listen, Folks! We just go along, do the best we can; make no parades; have no "plug- gers" in the audience; have no one to "kid" us—to make us think we have a good show; We want no Credit (all of our bills are paid) and We make no Curtain Speeches. We don't worry how the Local Manager likes our show. We know that it's nearly as good as the others—and we leave it to the Audience. In Conclusion We wish to state that: Sometimes a show beats us in a certain house; sometimes We beat them; BUT, in the Long Run, it is a well-known fact THAT We get Ours! P. S.
