Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

She's feminine, she has a sense of humor— -and what's more, even Charlie likes Edgar's new girl friend! By MARIAN RHEA EVERYONE around Hollywood knows that Edgar Bergen, one of our most eligible bachelors, has got a new girl. Now, we're often inclined to jump at romantic conclusions out here, but it looks this time as though Cupid were getting in some pretty good licks. . . . Certainly I think so and it seems to me I should know, because I spent an hour in Edgar's office on the Boulevard the other day and fiftyseven minutes of that time (the other three were devoted to the weather; it was the day it snowed) were taken up with discussion of the young lady in question. . . . Meaning Miss Kay St. Germain, the attractive brunette singer on NBC's Signal Carnival and recently guest on the Eddie Cantor program. Let's see. ... It has been about two years and a half, now, since Edgar and Charlie McCarthy moved west. Confirmed bachelors they were when they arrived and it looked for a while as though they would stay that way. They — or Edgar alone when he managed to elude the irrepressible Charlie — "played the field." For a while it was Shirley Ross, whose company was also regularly shared by Ken Murray, Edgar's pal of long standing. Then it was Andrea Leeds whom Edgar "beaued" on this and that occasion. Or Anita Louise or Helen Wood or Florence Heller. But it was never for long and never, apparently, seriously. Quiet as he is (at least until you know him) Edgar Bergen likes a good time. He likes to dance. He likes the night spots. And he likes a gay, attractive companion. But so often was it a brand new lady who appeared on his arm at this party and that party and premiere, that even Hollywood, always ready, as I say, to jump at romantic conclusions, coulda't cook up a real Bergen romance with anyone. . . . Until Kay St. Germain came along. Now, it looks different. "Sure," Charlie says, "put a little romance in Bergen's life and maybe he'll understand the problems of others."
