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, above — Binnie Barnes, Universal star, who'll be seeing you soon in "Diamond Jim," goes in for action in the smartest possible way. She wants you to like, as much as she does, her new sports dress of tubable, non-fading, non-shrinking, Tropical silk. Its back and skirt are especially designed for hard-swinging, full-striding sportswomen. Next — for evening, informally, Binnie says her cotton net is just about perfect. All in one piece, its main attraction besides its lovely, practical fabric, is the trick pleating at neck and sleeves and the cunning pique flower on the shoulder. Above — A second Tropical silk that's guaranteed against hard usage. It's another practical sports dress with action-back and commodious pockets. Below, left — Dorothy Mackaill's afternoon frock of printed chiffon brings back the princess influence in the clever waistline shirring. The sleeves are elbow-length, intricately designed and very graceful. And right, below — Binnie goes in for prettiness in a summer evening gown of mousseline de soie. Its little jacket has a nipped-in waist and positively billowing sleeves. By KATHERINE KAREY The New Movie Magazine, July, 1935 23
