The Variety Theatre, owned by Harry Hill, was located at 26 East Houston Street near Broadway and Mulberry Street.
Hill promoted wrestling and boxing matches at his theatre, and as a wrestler and boxer himself, Hill was also the "bouncer" of his own venue.
The competitors who were featured at the venue include James H. McLaughlin, John McMahon (American Devonshire style champion), Albert Ellis, Thomas Bragg, and Homer Lane (American middleweight champion and Hill's friend).
