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.

And that's where you'll appreciate your Chevrolet most — for this stronger, sturdier, more powerful Six is built to serve long and dependably under every condition of usage. Scores of vital new advancements — in design, construction and materials — have given additional strength, stamina and endurance to every unit of the chassis. The motor has been increased in capacity to 50 horsepower — enabling it to handle the car with ease, whatever the driving conditions may be. The pistons have been bushed with high-grade bronze for longer life and finer performance. The new banjo-type rear axle is heavier and stronger, with all the gears nickel-faced. The braking area has been materially increased, with both front and rear brake drums tightly enclosed for protection against dirt and water. The drive shaft is heavier. The transmission is stronger. The new Fisher bodies are built of selected hardwood and steel and rigidly re-enforced at the points of strain — assuring thousands upon thousands of miles of quiet, safe, comfortable service. In fact, every single feature that must bear the stress of operation, has been designed with an extra margin of overstrength. If you are considering the purchase of a low-priced car, think what this extra quality can mean to you in terms of dependable, long-lived performance. See your Chevrolet dealer today.
