Not to be confused with poet Clement Clarke Moore [1779-1863], who wrote The Night Before Christmas, during the 1930s there was an illustrator working for Movie Classic (and other publications) whose name was Clarke Moore.
• • In November 1933 Clarke Moore was assigned to sketch Mae West in color from a black and white photograph furnished by Paramount Pictures. His artwork was used on this magazine cover, the January 1934 issue.
• • In December 1933 subscribers to New Movie discovered this festive looking edition in their mailboxes.
• • 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a . . . censor. :-D
