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.

Sniffles! "I'm sorry, but Anne is in bed. She has the sniffles and I cant let her go to school or play with anybody until she is well again" 1/1/ ISE mother. She knows that sniffles may be s F the forerunner of any one of several infectious diseases and she helps to protect other people's children while she protects her own. A mild case of sniffles may seem so unimportant at first that little or no attention is paid to it, but it may be the warning symptom of a threatened attack of measles, whooping cough, scarlet fever, diphtheria or influenza. These diseases, combined, cause about one in every five deaths of children between the ages of one and nine. The child who is "coming down" with one of these diseases is likely to spread the germs in class at school or to give them to other children at play. An attack of measles may be a simple affair, soon over; but sometimes it causes serious complications «:: — injured eyesight, deafness. Whooping cough may reduce resistance that the child is more sus' so ceptible to pneumonia or tuberculosis. Scarlet fever frequently affects the kidneys and ears. All of these diseases — including diphtheria — may affect the heart and leave it permanently weakened. If your boy or girl seems well one day and develops a case of sniffles the next, the child should be kept at home under close observation and should not be permitted to play out-of-doors or with other children. If there is no improvement within twenty-four hours and the child is feverish, send for the doctor. Any or all of the following booklets will be mailed free on request: "Measles," "Whooping Cough," "Scarlet Fever," "Diphtheria," "Colds, Influenza, Pneumonia." Address Booklet Department 935-B.
