History
editCue was founded in 1932 by Mort Glankoff.[2]
Claudette Colbert was on the cover of the first issue. The magazine's focus was evident from its various taglines over the years:
- Naborhood Theater Guide
- The Weekly Magazine of Stage and Screen
- The Weekly Magazine of New York Life
- New York's own Entertainment Magazine
- New York's only complete entertainment weekly
- Where to go -- What to do -- in New York
- The complete entertainment guid for New York and the Suburbs
- For New York and the Suburbs The complete entertainment guide.
Cue was an early listings magazine. BBC's Radio Times listed radio schedules in 1923. Cue, with its city-specific focus, was the model for a genre that came to include Time Out, which now has 108 city editions.[3]
Glankoff sold Cue to Rupert Murdoch's New York magazine in 1980. Cue was prized for its listings section.[4] Glankoff died in August 1986.[5]
David Ewen was music editor for Cue in 1937 and 1938.[6]
