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.

Mr. Lachman is a Hollywood director. Mrs. Lachman was a concert singer in Europe, and she combines the savoir faire of the Occident and the Orient. Being a perfect hostess anywhere is something of an ■achievement. In Hollywood it is more difficult than anywhere else in the world. * * * * * Kay Francis and Maurice Chevalier are denying romantic rumors about each other.
