God save Donald Duck, Vaudeville and Variety

Variety probably refers to the genre of entertainment that is "an entertainment made up of a variety of acts, especially musical performances and comedy skits, and normally introduced by a compère or host," rather than the magazine.

A subset of Variety was Vaudeville:

Vaudeville was a genre of variety entertainment prevalent in the United States and Canada from the early 1880s until the early 1930s. Developing from many sources, including the concert saloon, minstrelsy, freak shows, dime museums, and literary burlesque, vaudeville became one of the most popular types of entertainment in North America. Each evening's bill of performance was made up of a series of separate, unrelated acts. Types of acts included (among others) musicians (both classical and popular), dancers, comedians, trained animals, magicians, female and male impersonators, acrobats, one-act plays or scenes from plays, athletes, lecturing celebrities, minstrels, and short films.

Donald Duck is a cartoon duck.
