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 specialize in clothes and nothing but clothes. We haven't the time to spare in haber- dashery or hats BUT we have lots of time to fit and fit you over and over again until you say it's perfect. We can afford to do this as our rents are about a quarter that of the Broadway clothier and therefore our prices fifteen to thirty dollars are real values just what the clothes cost us with a small profit. We are going to specialize in clothes for the professional so we ask you to look us over, if we can't give you a better run for your money than you are now getting It's our loss. We will make up anything special for you. If we cannot do it, one of the large wholesalers will for us. The Commonwealth Clothing Co.
