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.

The photos above run from left to right — Richard Cromwell, Franchot Tone and Gary Cooper in "The Lives of a Bengal Lancer," Steffi Duna in "Girl of the Islands," Clark Gable and Jack Oakie in "Call of the Wild," Richard Dix and Martha Sleeper in "West of the Pecos," Warner Baxter in "Under the Pampas Moon," and Wallace Ford and Victor McLaglen with Brandon Hurst in "The Lost Patrol." The one below shows Pat O'Brien in "Oil for the Lamps of China." All of these photographs, and the pictures from which they are taken, were made in California. They show you India, the South Seas, Alaska, Texas, Argentina, Arabia and China. Nor is that all they could show you. The list might be prolonged endlessly, as the map at the right demonstrates. The State of California is in a bizarre spot, geographically. A thousand miles in length, its southern boundary is semi-tropical and its northern counties lie far into the north temperate zone. Its western edge is seacoast all the way, its south central section is desert, and to the east rise the folds of high mountain chains. Lake Tahoe, to the north, can be frozen while in Death Valley the thermometer climbs to a hundred and twenty and more. The Imperial Valley can be begging for rain while San Francisco lies cloaked in chill fog. Geographically, at any rate, California is a little universe in itself. When a Californian tells you they're having unusual weather he's telling the truth. It's always unusual weather. California offers a million landscapes, a million-and-one locations. Seeing "Oil for the Lamps of China," who would have dreamed that great desert in the middle of Asia lay just outside a California town named Lone Pine? Or that Bing Crosby's rolling Mississippi was the Sacramento River? tuhai^ia^d f wm yout I ScctM^iMXJurioL' fl&d Sea KvviihaA -Uottaud Decorative Map by Norman Mencher The New Movie Magazine, September, 1935 19
