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.

POLA NEGRI is making pictures in Germany, where she started. Pointing toward a come-back try in America? It seems to look that way. LUISE RAINER is the latest of the many foreign importations. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer feels she really has something. True? — or another flash in the pan? JULIE HAYDON was once Ann Harding's stand-in. Now, starred by Ben Hecht and Charles Mac Arthur, every studio is offering her a contract. NOEL COWARD, author of "Cavalcade" and a dozen Broadway stage hits, makes his bow as a movie actor in "The Scoundrel," filmed in the East. EVELYN BRENT lost out when gangster films went fizzle. She is coming back now in — of all things — a gangster film. Rather ironic, don't you think? GUINN WILLIAMS was just a big mugg, they said. His performance outshone Claudette Colbert's in "Private Worlds"! We say so proudly and gladly. DUDLEY DIGGES you usually see as a down-atthe-heel South Seas beachcomber or a slavedriving sheriff. He makes villainy a fine art. HUGH HERBERT, a wistful little fellow whose pants never fit him, has brought us something new in the way of comedy. His popularity is steadily mounting. REGINALD OWEN has been in so many pictures we can't even remember them. And every performance is a triumph for him. That's acting! 24 The New Movie Magazine, July, 1935
