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

VARIETY THIS WILL THRILL YOU 4S NO OTHER WILL CHORUS If we had a million more like Teddy The war would be over to-day. He's willing to risk his life and fight across the sea. Don't you realize the chance he'd take would be for you and me? He went up to Mr. Wilson and gave him his hand; And said, ''I'll gladly help you and our dear old Yankee Land." We would have a dandy chance to pay a debt we owe to France If we had a million more like him. YOU KNOW IT IS THE REIGNING HIT "KENDIS" 145 WEST 45tll ST.. N. Y.
