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.

Fight Tuberculosis with modern methods If there are hidden shadows of the disease, they are revealed by the penetrating eye of the X-ray. ry^HEKE were fewer new cases of tuberculosis in \_J 1934. The deathrate from this disease in this country was lower than ever before. But this good news from those who are resolutely fighting tuber' culosis should not blind one to the fact that about 70,000 persons died last year from tuberculosis and that it is still the leading cause of death between the ages of fifteen and forty 'five. When the suspicious symptoms begin to appear — undue fatigue, chest pains, loss of weight, a cough that hangs on, blood spitting — no time should be lost in getting an expert diagnosis. The value of such early diagnosis, aided by laboratory tests, X-rays or fluoroscope, is reflected by the increase in the number of complete recoveries. Since Dr. Trudeau blazed the trail fifty years ago and proved that "consumption" could be arrested, tf lm% UBflHB untold thousands have been restored to health by following the treatment of fresh air, sunshine, nourishing food and REST. Physicians, today, have at their command another ally — pneumothorax or lung'coliapsing treatment which is proving of great value in many cases, though not suitable for all. The expert can, if he thinks wise, collapse an infected lung as long as is necessary and let the other lung do the breathing. The infected lung heals more quickly during its enforced rest. This treatment, under competent and continued medical care, is speeding a steadily increas' ing number of recoveries in sanatoria and homes. Tuberculosis, recognized and treated in its early stages, can be arrested and controlled in most cases. Send for the Metropolitan booklet "Tuberculosis."' Address Booklet Department 435'B.
