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

COMPOSER-CONDUCTOR DAVID ROSE, like any other man who works very hard, always seeks a form of compensation for his toil. In the case of good-looking, London-born Rose, it amuses him to sometimes fool the same people that he entertains with his exciting music. Here's how the Rose whimsy* takes shape. Ask anybody the name of the most famous Rose tune and the inevitable reply would be "Holiday Fof Strings." Yet he wrote this famous composition, which has been played by everyone from symphonies to Spike Jones, strictly as a gag.
