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.

Right — an ensemble of crepe with plaid pique accents is worn by Margot Grahame, lovely British star, who will appear in a forthcoming RKO production. A boxed jacket is worn over the very short sleeves of the dress. Sketched at the right is another little daytime frock selected by Miss Grahame ... a two-piece effect dress of sheer, striped in polka-dots, a new version of the season's favorite. Note the pleats, the turned over pique collar and bow, the little puffed sleeves. Dropped shoulders, flared skirts, pleated ruffling and boxed jackets — all new fashion notes By KATHERINE KAREY Left — Ethel Merman, United Artists star, who will play the leading role in Eddie Cantor's next picture, wears a cotton lace jacket frock showing Regency influence in the design. The dress has the new high neckline and is trimmed with grosgrain. Sketched at the left are two other frocks selected by Miss Merman. One, a simple sheer with shirtwaist influence, softly treated. The shoulders are the new shirred raglan type and a fichu of mousseline de soie adds a finishing touch to the tailored collar. The other, a ribbon matelasse jacket dress with the new cape sleeve jacket. The New Movie Magazine, June, 1935 23
