The New Movie Magazine (Dec 1929-May 1930)

The New Movie Magazine Dollar Thoughts (Continued from page 58) the other, but now I need not choose any longer, as for the price of 25c I can get both the movie and magazine. Rosette Mayron, 46 Washington. Tawdry Advertising Casper, Wyoming — "The Lady Lies," "And how that baby lied!" "The truth about love nests!!" In this tawdry fashion we are invited to see and hear what I considered one of the finest dramas since the inception of the talkies. Other lines, too, in the same vein, the ads embellished by sketches of a tall, sinuous female figure arrayed in the prevailing sin-sister mode, hand on hip. "Another one of these cheap sex pictures, hardly worth our while," one sneered. Until we were urged by friends not to miss it, and were assured that the picture was not at all as one would gather from the title and the advertisements. What an insult to an intelligent public to assume that such a top-notch picture would find it necessary to appeal, in the ads, to sensation-seekers and lowbrows like ourselves. Dave Kahn, 315 East Eighth Street. What a Saving! Sidou, Mississippi — To a woman who has an allowance and who spends just a certain amount for books and magazines The New Movie, at the price of 10c, gives instructive reviews of the new pictures, interesting studio gossip, personal stories of popular stars, and a clear history of the sound screen and furnishes more general information than any other movie magazine on the market, thus enabling the woman to buy The Home Magazine and the Illustrated Detective Magazine for what she usually pays for one magazine. Mrs. Stanny Sanders. Those Garbo Fans Nero York City — New Movie Magazine is great. In fact, it is better in our estimation than some of the twenty-five-cent movie magazines, for it gives us what we want, and we want GARBO. Yes, sir, if you want to satisfy the greatest number, give us pictures and news items concerning the great Greta and we'll be satisfied. The only improvement we might suggest is that it be published more often. A Gang of Garbo Fans. Can't Hear the Gags Baltimore, Md. — I was thinking, when I saw a recent talking picture which contained a number of good laughs, how much better it would be if they could space their humorous gags so the audience would not be laughing when the next words were spoken. In other words, just as an actor on the stage will wait for his laughs so the audience will catch what he next says, is my idea. Joe Jim James, 2659 Harlem Avenue. Likes Home-Town Stories Ann Arbor, Mich. — One of the best features is "HomeTown Stories of the Stars," which gives us an insight into their real life, makes us better acquainted and more appreciative of them and their work. Do they know how we, the public, appreciate their hard work to amuse us? If we are tired, we go to the movies; if we have no place to go, we go to the movies, and come away rested and with new inspiration. Wanetha F. Shultz, 330 South Fourth Avenue. For Buddy Meridian, Miss. — May I offer a suggestion? In regard to the article, "Buddy Seeks a Girl," couldn't we have more on the same subject by the other male stars? I am sure that men and women alike would be interested. Miss Floy L. Cooper, 1004 Twenty-sixth Avenue. — And Against Him Wheeling, W. Va. — Really I think that Buddy Rogers is the most conceited and selfish person I have ever heard about. It seems to me he must think a great deal of himself to think a girl should be made especially to suit all his moods. Miss Edna Elliott, 89% Sixteenth Street. Thanks, John D. Ypsilanti, Mich. — I have always thought that a tencent movie magazine would be a knockout on the news-stands. Why shouldn't it be? Rockefeller made the price famous to start with, and with such a publicity director it would have to go over big. Reade S. Pierce, 313 Pearl Street.
