"Sime" Silverman (May 19, 1873 – September 23, 1933) was an American journalist and newspaper publisher. He was the founder of the weekly Variety in New York City in 1905 and the Hollywood-based Daily Variety in 1933. Early lifeSilverman was born on May 19, 1873 in Cortland, New York.[1][2] His father, Louis J. Silverman, was a businessman.[2] CareerSilverman began his career by working for his father.[2] In 1903, he became a journalist for the Daily America and wrote under the nom-de-plume "The Man in the Third Row". After the Daily America dissolved, he later joined The Morning Telegraph but was fired in 1905 for a notice on a new sketch played by Mrs. Stuart Robson at Proctor's 58th Street theatre where the review mentioned the sketch was n.g. (no good). He was not aware that Mrs. Robson had given the Telegraph an advertising contract for $50. Despite suggesting that since the sketch was n.g., that might make the contract n.g., too, as Mrs. Robson wouldn't advertise what she couldn't play, the owner did not like the suggestion.[3] Silverman decided that he would have to start his own paper in order to be able to tell the truth.[1][4] With a loan of $1,500 from his father-in-law, Alderman George Freeman of Syracuse, he launched Variety as publisher and editor.[1] He passed the editorship to Abel Green in 1931 but remained as publisher until his death soon after launching the Daily. During the course of his career, Silverman was known as the "oracle of show business, the sworn foe of grammar, and the man who never let anyone pay a check."[5] In 1934, he headed a list in Time magazine of the "ten modern Americans who have done most to keep American jargon alive".[6] In 1920, Silverman purchased an old brownstone building at 154 West 46th Street in New York, which became the Variety headquarters until its sale and demolition in 1988.{{cn|date=January 2019}} In 1922, Silverman acquired the entertainment newspaper the New York Clipper.[4] Personal life, death and legacySilverman married Harriett "Hattie" Freeman in 1889.{{cn|date=January 2019}} Silverman suffered from a bronchial condition and had travelled to California for the past two winters before his death for health reasons.[1] Silverman died on September 23, 1933 at the Ambassador Hotel from a lung hemorrhage.[2][5] He was 60 years old. His body was found by casting director Ben Piazza and the editor of Daily Variety, Arthur Ungar, who suffered a mild heart attack on finding the body.[1] His funeral was held at Congregation Emanu-El of New York on September 28, 1933.[7] His son Sidne, known as Sid or "Skigie", succeeded him as publisher of both publications.[8] His grandson son, Syd, became the third publisher of Variety. Silverman was the subject of a biography by Dayton Stoddart in 1941.[9] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|url=https://archive.org/stream/variety111-1933-09#page/n208/mode/1up|title=Sime Silverman, founder of 'Variety,' Dies Suddenly in Hollywood at 60|work=Variety|date=September 26, 1933|page=1}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |title=Publisher of 'Variety' Dies In Los Angeles.
