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.

Beautiful little Barbara Bennett was there with her new husband, Morton Downey. Barbara is a sister of Constance and Joan Bennett and has just come back to Hollywood. Personally, I think she is by far the most attractive of these three sisters and, with her talent as a dancer, should go far. She wore black lace. By the way, she is one of the few brunettes who can do that successfully. Her eyes are really black and not brown. Her husband sang several Two more plates from Mrs. Lowe's collection. Left, an Italian Cappa da Monte, perhaps the rarest of the collection. The edge is of light gold with blue fans and delicate crimson and purple coloring. Right, a genuine Spode.

Mrs. Dwan had on a frock of flat crepe in that new shade of powder blue that seems so popular this Spring. She brought it from Paris and it displayed to perfection the new draped skirt.
