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.

Poor vision is a tough handi' cap to a child in school. At least one in every ten has some form of defec tive eyesight. Many of these uncorrected defects are progressive and cause increasing eye-strain and impairment of vision. Eyestrain may lead to severe recurring head' aches, nervous exhaustion, hysteria, insomnia, dizxi' ness and other disorders. In older people there are other conditions of the eyes which are far more serious than imperfect vision. If untreated, they may eventually lead to blindness. Glaucoma and cataract can be present and in the first stages give little indication of their threat to your sight. Recognised early, glaucoma may be successfully treated ; a cataract may be removed by an operation.
