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.

VANESSA M-G-M Bob Montgomery, an English nobleman with wild gypsy blood in his veins, loses the love of Helen Hayes only to regain it mystically as a result of her tragic death. Haunting romance. RUGGLES OF RED GAP (Paramount) Mary Boland, Charles Ruggles, Charles Laughton, ZaSu Pitts and Baby LeRoy. Ruggles, an English butler, goes West and goes tough. If this doesn't have you in the aisles we miss our guess. CLIVE OF INDIA ("Twentieth Century) Ronald Colman is a young clerk when Loretta Young marries him, sight unseen. Her slavish love lifts him to the heights, and he becomes the General who conquers India for Britain. Historical. MURDERED A MAN ('Universal) For mystery fans. You see the murderer commit the crime and then follow him as he tries to put the blame off on somebody else. Fast-moving, well directed, this is above average. THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD (Universal) Dickens' unfinished classic. A Jekylland-Hyde choirmaster turns fiend after hours. Claude Rains, Heather Angel and David Manners dispense horror to chill your blood, and romance too. ON-THE-SET REVIEWS Barbara Barry, New Movie's studio scout, tells you what to expect in the new pictures which are now in production WE don't know who started this merry-go-round of hoopskirts. bustles, and frizzed bangs, but we'd like to know who's going to stop it? At the risk of incurring your deepest displeasure, ye old broken down reporter has got to state that we'll turn in Aunt Emma's bustles, any day, for a Patou model and a Menjou soup-and-fish. Are you with me, or have I started a riot? i'LFVE OF IXDIA yx spite of our period-phobia, the number of costume • x pictures seems to be swelling like the Pacific tide 20th century when the moon is just right. And, we're destined to take 'em and like 'em, or go back to popping corn and making fudge for an exciting evening. Without even a thought for our pictorial preference. W. P. Lipscomb and R. J. Minney got together on another period story. But. as we watched Loretta Young flitting about in sea-green chiffon over seventeen petticoats . . . well, maybe this one won't be too hard to take. Shipped as apprentice to the merchants of the East India Company, Ronald . Colman refuses to be a humble serf like the other poor young men who struggle along on a few dollars a year in the vain hope of some bright day having a successful career. Defiantly, he fights to fulfill the destiny in which he believes. In a locket around the neck of Francis Lister, one of his comrades, Colman sees the picture of a beautiful girl, Loretta Young. Learning that it is Lister's sister, the impetuous Ronald writes her a letter proposing marriage, and strangely enough, Loretta accepts, sight unseen. Colman achieves fame as a great leader and later, back in London, a son is born to the happily married pair. So great is her devotion to the man she loves, that Loretta leaves her dving child to follow Colman back to India, when he is called to subdue a native uprising. Through the entire picture, she sacrifices evervthing to serve her master, and at the close of the picture, when things look blackest, the soothing touch of her hand serves to revive her husband's waning faith in himself; giving him the courage to carry on once more to victory. STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART • I'XIYERSAL SCOTTY BEAL. the director, is a lad who certainly has a winning way with him where little children are concerned. Baby Jane adores the man and he has one little trick whereby he can influence the child to go through the most difficult scene without ever making even the slightest squawk of protest. Sitting on the floor, with the baby's arms around his neck. Scotty said: "Now, darling, after Miss Astor puts you down, your dress is all wrinkled in the front. While you say your line. I want you to smooth the wrinkles out of the dress. Will you do that for Scotty?'' "Uh-huh . . ." she agreed. "N'en we play Eskimo?" {Please turn to page 64) BARBARA BARRY'S SELECTIONS YOU'LL LIKE THESE "Vanessa' with Helen He iyes and Robert Montgomery. "Roberta' ' — Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
