1. Hill Clix as Variety Pix Pres Tix

2. Very well played, Pooka! DUzy!

3. I used to get a big kick out of some of the headlines in the trades.

The "Boffo BO" one always made me laugh! That one got hauled out every so often after some movie's colossal opening weekend. "BO" stood for "box office."

4. I work in Hollywood so I remember the fun Variety headlines. Couldn't resist but a friend reminded

me I should have said Prexy for Pres.
That was the old nickname for the title.
as in: Jones Exits As Par Prexy
Meaning, someone just lost their job as President at Paramount Studios

5. Shit, yeah! "Prexy"!

I was an entertainment reporter covering Hollywood for many years. I saw that stuff all the time. When the trades came in, at work, everybody crowded around Army Archerd's column.
