Description:
Relatively short-lived magazine that nonetheless played a crucial role in the gossip industry. Launched in 1929, it cost only ten cents, when the majority of high-end magazines sold for a quarter. It was also primarily sold through Woolworth’s five and dime stores; the combination of cost and accessibility led to its dominance, by 1933, over all other magazines (circulation: 650,000). As a result, the other magazines decreased their price to match New Movie’s. New Movie had less content and poorer quality drawings and illustrations, but the content similar in tone and quality to that of the high end magazines. Ceased publication in 1935. -- Anne Helen Petersen, 2013. Secondary sources consulted: Inside the Hollywood Fan Magazine by Anthony Slide and MovieMags.com.

MRS. BOYER'S BERCDORF COODMAN GOWN IS OF UNCUT VELVET. Among the many distinguished women who prefer Camel's costlier tobaccos: MRS. NICHOLAS BIDDLE, Philadelphia MISS MARY BYRD, Richmond MRS.

CIGARETTES ^ 9 < 2 0' kl 0 ■J In the gay young group that dictates what's "done" in New York, Mrs. Boyer plays a charming part. What to wear, where to dance, what to see, how to entertain, what people prefer to eat, to smoke — she knows all the answers. That is why you find Camels in her house and in her slim cigarette case. "There seems to be more going on this winter than ever," she says."Lunches, teas, parties, dances — everyone is gay and almost everyone is smoking Camels. They certainly add to your enjoyment with their mild, rich flavor and I notice that if I'm tired a Camel freshens me up. Lots of people have told me the same thing. I can smoke all I want, too, and they never upset my nerves." People find that Camel's finer and MORE EXPENSIVE TOBACCOS give them a healthy "lift" when their energy is low. Smoke one yourself and see. ?€4ZJt4Se Copyright, 1034. K. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company <ZCC€rf
