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.

piUfruik'ffSm^ BETTY FURNESS, as pretty as she is talented, is coming along fast as a featured player. She will be in "Shadow of Doubt," with Ricardo Cortez and in "Calm Yourself," with Bob Young. FRANK MORGAN pays the penalty for being one of our finest character actors — they gave him so many beards that half the time you can't recognize him. Here: In "Gentlemen Never Tell." ELEANOR POWELL deserves mention because she is supposed to be just about the greatest living tap dancer. You'll be seeing her in Metro-GoldwynMayer's "Broadway Melody of 1936" quite soon. GORDON JONES, a college football and track star in Los Angeles, never saw the inside of a motion picture studio until a screen test landed him in "Let 'Em Have It." You'll see more of him. BILL BENEDICT, 17, and looking younger, got a job by telephoning to a casting director from Oklahoma. His splendid work in "Ten Dollar Raise" has won him a part in Will Rogers' next picture. WILLIAM AUSTIN you've been seeing for years in those amusing "Silly Awss" Englishman parts — so many that he certainly deserves mention on this page for his fine part in "Redheads on Parade." KETTI GALLIAN is another foreign importation, and we're getting a bit leary of foreign importations, but after you see her in "Under the Pampas Moon" you'll decide what her fate will be. EDWARD BROPHY. You must have wondered who he was a great many times. With his whining voice and his dumb mugg impersonations, Ed certainly merits a prominent place in your album. 26 DIXIE LEE isn't just the wife of Bing Crosby, you know. She's a singing, dancing little tornado, and we're delighted to say that you'll be seeing her next in "Redheads on Parade," too. The New Movie Magazine, August, 1935
