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.

These clothes are all available to you at reasonable prices at your local department stores. Sketched below is a lovely tea gown of silk crepe with long sleeves and a contrasting sash. Also a three-piece swagger ensemble with a Tahitian linen blouse. Selected by Margo. The exotic Margo, who last appeared in the Paramount production, "Rumba," wears this smart and unusual evening gown of printed cotton, with a large all-over floral design. There are two wide flounces at the bottom of the skirt and another flounce at the low neckline caught up on one shoulder with a large artificial rose. 22 The New Movie Magazine, May, 1935
