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.

Some excel- lent dancing by Florence O'Deni- shawn and the six pretty wives, the nearest the two-act comedy come.* to having a chorus, are the out- standing features. FORD'S.—The "second edition" of Victor Herbert's musical comedy, "The Girl in the Spotlight," which was enthusiastically received here Monday, proves a moge spirited in- terpretation, with a few changes here and there, of the production that was staged at the Academy at the beginning of the season. Al- though by no means the best play of this type to show here this season it is some above the average, and should go well in this popular house. ACADEMY.—Fiske O'Hara in "Springtime in Mayo" has an ad- mirably suited part, which he makes the most of. LYCEUM.—"Adam and Eva," re- cast since its premiere here some time ago, returns to town. The play suffers by the changes, although it is still good entertainment and well received opening night. MARYLAND.—Vaudeville. PLAYHOUSE. — Jimmic I lodges. who writes and produces his own shows, opened here four weeks ago with a very good musical comedy. Since the first attempt the shows haven't been 4ip to standard, and he began his farewell week last night with a show that consists of toasts from a rare edition of the "Barten- ders' Manual" and other material of a similar kind. GARDEN.—Pop vaudeville. PALACE.—Burlesque as present- ed by the "Million., Dollars Dolls" does not measure up to the usual offt rings of the Columbia circuit. IIIPPODROME. — Pictures and vaudeville. GA YET Y.—"Round the Town," burlesque. This house is having at least one midnight benefit show a week, whicfi are proving quite pop- ular. FOLLY.—"The Glngrr Girls," bur- lesque. R1VOLT.—"Lying Lips," featuring House Peters and Florence Vidor. PARKWAY.—Bert Lytell In per- son is one of the inducements of- fered by the management in con- nection with "The Misleading Lady," which is the attraction here this week and in which he has the stellar role. NEW.—Viola Dana In "The Off- shore Pirate." The fifth recital of the Stleff Ar- tist course was given to a large house Tuesday evening. Albert Vertchamp, violinist, was the artist. BUFFALO.
