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 a STOP TH • SHOW II That is the dream of every artist and we have got the song that will STOP ANY SNOW* We have seen it done night after night, day after day. All over the Country Singers are Stopping the Show with • AMERICA HERE S MY BOT THE GREATEST OF ALL PATRIOTIC SONGS FROM ME TO MANDY LEE A swingy-singy idea song. With a wonderful lyric and the dandiest tune you ever heard. With a corking double and great male and female version. YOU CANT MISS—WITH THIS ONE ii We were going to hold this "Bird" back, but circumstance* compel us to publish it. Your gain. LETS ALL DO SOMETHING A new patriotic song by the writers of "America, Here's My Boy." It's a riot. Here's the chorus: CHORUS Let's all do something, We can all do something; Ev'ry little bit helps, so do it now. We want the man with the sword, the man with the gun, The man with the hoe, and the plow; Girls, you don't need rehearsing To go Red Cross nursing, Your hand can soothe a soldier's brow, Ev'ry boy can be a scout, Ev'ry body must turn out, And do their little bit of something; Let's all do something, UNCLE SAMMY WANTS US NOW.
