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.

Your House and Your Health "Come along. You and I are going to inspect this house from top to bottom.'1'' He .OW you live is often far more important to your health than where you live. A striking example of what proper sanitation can do is shown in the Panama Canal Zone. Down there, homes have been made healthful as a result of the work done by the Sanitation Department of the United States Army. Constant vigilance keeps them so. Your home, wherever it is, requires equal vigilance. Take an inspection trip through your house, from attic to cellar, and see whether the heating, lighting, plumbing and ventilating systems are in condition to give you and your family a full measure of health and safety. Should any of them be repaired, altered, or replaced? If you find that your house is in apple'pie order, you will be gratified. If you find a condition which should be corrected, you will be glad to do what is neces' sary to make your home safer, more healthful and more comfortable. = -!= '2»! INSPECT THOROUGHLY Heating Do your heating arrangements keep your home at an even temperature — about 700? Have the flues and chimneys been cleaned recently? Is coal gas emitted from furnace or stoves? Plumbing and Drains It is essential to health that sewage shopld be properly dis' posed of, and that plumbing and drains be kept in repair. Is hot and cold water available for kitchen, bathroom and laundry? Electric Wiring and Gas Outlets Defective electric wiring or connections may cause fires. Gas leaks may cause suffocations or explosions. In case of doubt get professional advice. Repairs must be made by a qualified expert. Ventilation and Screens Adequate ventilation is important to health, but drafts cause discomfort and also waste fuel. Inspect the casings of doors and windows to see that they open easily and close tightly. Screens at the proper season are necessary to keep out flies and mosquitoes — disease carriers. Food Protection Does your refrigerator hold its temperature between 400 and 500 and keep perishable food in proper condition — especially the milk? Leaks, Cracks or Breaks Is there dampness in cellar or attic caused by a leak? Do clogged drain-pipes or gutters at the edge of your roof furnish breeding places for mosquitoes? Is there broken plaster in walls or ceilings in which vermin may breed? Shaky stairs? Weak banisters? Loose boards in floorings? They add to the number of falls — the most frequent of all accidents in homes. Lighting Correct lighting is needed to prevent eyestrain. Many a fall has been prevented by properly placed lights — particularly in halls and on stairways. Garbage Proper disposal of refuse and garbage is imperative.
