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.

"Only in Kotex can you find these 3 satisfying comforts /€ CAN'T CHAFE • CAN'T FAIL* CAN'T SHOW Three exclusive features solve three important problems every woman faces. I explain them to you here because there is no other place for you to learn about them." L>OmC4*6C C&4&1 sgfo&tif Now you can wear what you will without lines ever showing. Why? Kotex ends are not merely rounded as in ordinary pads, but flattened and tapered besides. Absolute invisibility always. WONDERSOFT KOTEX Try the New Deodorant Powder . . , QUEST, for personal daintiness. Available wherever Kotex is sold. A special center layer is in the heart of the pad. It has channels to guide moisture the whole length of the pad— thus avoids accidents. And this special center gives "body" but not bulk to the pad in use. No twisting. I'VE always felt that the real facts on this intimate subject were withheld from women. So here I present information every woman should know. I realize that most sanitary napkins look pretty much alike. Yet they aren't alike either in the way they're made or in the results they give. For only genuine Kotex offers the 3 exclusive features that bring you the comfort and safety you seek. And with Kotex now costing so little and giving so much, other kinds are really no economy. Remember, the Kotex absorbent, Cellucotton (not cotton), is 5 times as absorbent as cotton. It is the identical absorbent used in the majority of our leading hospitals. Women who require extra protection find Super Kotex ideal. For emergency, Kotex is in West Cabinets in ladies' rest rooms. NEW ADJUSTABLE BELT REQUIRES NO PINS! No wonder thousands are buying this truly remarkable Kotex sanitary belt ! It's conveniently narrow . . . easily adjustable to fit the figure. And the patented clasp does away with pins entirely. You'll be pleased with the comfort . . . and the low price. The New Movie Magazine, July, 1935 41
