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.

VARIETY -I ii IT NOWI BONO fit GOD SAVE US ALL" • • BY Alfred Bryan and Harry Tlerney ^ SF Alfred Bryan wrote: "I Didn't R«l»e My Boy to be a Soldier NUF SED The tramp of armies marching Now shakes the earth again; Two years they have been fighting, all in vain Ten million men have fallen, Ten thousand more each day. For ev'ry one a mother kneels to pray, The burden of her prayer just seems to say: CHORUS. When England, France and Germany, Will all advance in peace and harmony, Friends on the land—friends on the sea, Noble and grand and contented and free; When love will rule this whole creation And the world will be one happy nation, Singing "heart to heart" and "hand to hand," United to stand or to fall, Then we'll all get together and loudly sing— "God Save Us All." • JEROME H.
