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.

The list at the right, incomplete though it is, proves this to be untrue. There are more divorces — but the reason commands your sympathy. HT'HE above list is not complete, since it ■"■ takes in only players who are more or less prominent at the present time. Numbers of stars have remarried. Adrienne Ames, for example, has married Bruce Cabot since her divorce, Lew Ayres has married Ginger Rogers, John Barrymore has been for some years the husband of Dolores Costello, Ralph Bellamy married Catherine Willard, a stage actress; Constance Bennett has her Marquis, Sally Eilers is now the wife of Harry Joe Brown, Ralph Forbes is the husband of Heather Angel, Adolphe Menjou's new wife is Verree Teasdale, Gloria Stuart is married to a writer, Arthur Sheekman; Margaret Sullavan is the wife -of William Wyler, a director, and of course there is the WeissmullerVelez combination. Also, many of the stars have been divorced two and three times apiece. Nancy Carroll, Charles Chaplin, Gloria Swanson, Ruth Chatterton and Jean Harlow all have had more than one.
