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.

HEARD? writers must live. On second thought, though, I recall how violently she disagrees on that point. GRETA'S manager, Harry Eddington, proved the rescue. He came into Levy's the other night alone. I also was dining tout seul, true to Sweden. We got together over coffee, and talked of Greta. I hope we're not cut off the smorgasbord list for this. He didn't tell me anything I didn't know. And I didn't tell him anything he didn't. Why should I? John Gilbert introduced Harry to Greta at the time she was on a strike for more kronen from M-G-M. Harry negotiated the happy-days contract for Gilbert under which he is still working at $250,000 per picture. Successful as an intermediary between Miss Garbo and the company, Cagney lets no Park Avenue accent creep into his punches. When he socks 'em, he socks 'em! Harry became prime minister for the queen. Many stars forget their managers after a contract is obtained, and the latter have to sue for their percentage. Miss Garbo seems to have appreciated her manager's services. She's a strange girl. /^RETA will always seem eccentric to Holly^-* wood. Here are a few idiosyncrasies : She's on the set at nine, eager to go, and waits sometimes two hours for the rest of the company to get going. She gets her script a week before production starts and knows exactly what she is going to do in every scene before the picture commences. During production she goes to bed at seven, has dinner there, gets up at four or five and hikes. It is not true that she has refused always to work after five p. m., but she is {Please turn to page 97) Illustrations By CHAMBERLAIN Gloria Swanson is lV credited by Herb with starting the vogue for babies in Hollywood.
