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.

semble of washable pastel crepe with a contrasting linen jacket cut on bias swagger lines with a new pointed, peaked collar and wide sleeves. The dress beneath has a softly gathered back and bosom, a new yolk and capelet sleeves. The jacket worn separately makes an extra summer coat. Sketched left, above: This is Fay Wray's new spectator sports dress, another soap and water fashion of sun-fast pure silk. Its two-tone check, Peter Pan collar and pleating-edged pockets and neckline are all very youthful. And it goes to town without embarrassment. Above: Gladys George includes in her August wardrobe this air-conditioned sheer for travel. The dress is slim and double-breasted with self-covered buttons. And isn't the saw-tooth pique trim pretty and fresh looking? Next: A really charming summer evening dress for Fay Wray's dancing evenings. The cape, of course, is its dramatic touch, and it's lined with lily white. The sheath-like dress is a smoothtone silk with a halter top and a very flattering shirred bodice. In delicate flower colors that bring out the clinging vine in you. Right, above: And here is Gladys George again wearing a crisp taffeta evening gown with a beautiful decollette back and a shirred halter neck. The knifepleated frills that form the peplum and trim the V-back are in a contrasting pastel and the crystal-buckled girdle is of soft, matching velvet. The skirt, below the peplum is cut on a full, shirred, bias. It really rustles most romantically. And a very nice thing about all these Tower Star Fashions is that none of them will put even a small dent in a modest clothes budget. The Neiv Movie Magazine, August, 1935 25
