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.

Left — the lure of lace and simplicity of design make this two-piece jacket frock, worn by Frances Drake, an outstanding model for early Summer. The dress is designed on shirtwaist lines with a pleated bosom and mannish pigue bow at the high neck. The wide revers and deep cuffs on the jacket are of pigue as is the flower boutonniere. Sketched — a jaunty little sailor suit for the nautical minded, also worn by Miss Drake. The coat is doublebreasted and fastens with bright brass buttons. Sguare braid trims the sailor collar and cuffs. This is a most practical summer dress of washable crepe. Outstanding in design, fabric and tailoring, say three popular movie stars of this month's TOWER STAR FASHIONS I FASHIONS Sponsored by Tower Magazines, Inc. Laces for daytime, organdies for evening and crepes and sheers for all around wear — what a selection from which to choose your summer wardrobe Sketched above are two delightfully feminine summer evening frocks selected by Frances Drake, who is soon to appear in the 20th Century production, "Les Miserables." One is an embroidered organdy with a bright field flower corsage at the high waistline. Note the dropped shoulders, a fashion scoop for you, and the new godet hemline which gives just the right flare to the long, full skirt. The other dress is, perhaps, more informal but just as chic. It is printed organdy, a dainty floral design, with that tailored smartness so seldom found in an evening gown. 22 The New Movie Magazine, June, 1935
