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

Ted Mack and his Matinee are dedicated to turning the spotlight on others The Honey Dreamers got their musical start in college — and two of thena are now husband and wife. Left to right, the girls are Nan Green and Marion Bye (Mrs. Davis) — the boys, Bob Mitchell, Bob Davis, Stewart Vannerson. Such VIPs as Mrs. Dale Carnegie visit Ted's program to share their secrets of success with the Matinee audiences. PERSONAL MEMO to Ted Mack fans: After years of devoting himself to America's amateur talent, as emcee of the Original Amateur Hour, your Mr. Mack is now helping "undiscovered" professionals on this season's new daytime variety show, The Ted Mack Matinee, over NBC-TV. That's great news, for it means that ... if you are a young and talented performer, amateur or professional ... if you are young and talented in any art — or just young, and not quite sure what talent you may have . . . Ted Mack is your best friend. Most people in show business are generous with their time and money, public-spirited, wai'm of heart . . . but, when you find a performer who doesn't want to talk about himself, who can think of practically nothing to wish for himself, whose ambition is more for others than for himself . . . this is something new under that make-believe paper moon! For all his years on stage, before the camera, behind the mike, your Mr. Mack is that "something new." Because he is, it's very hard to get a story about Ted Mack himself. One recent afternoon, I sat in the audience at the Ambassador Theater in New York, watching the Ted Mack Matinee, enjoying the singing of Dick Lee, Elise Rhodes, the Honey Dreamers. Enjoying maestro Mack's enjoyment, too . . . taking note of the pleased and proud expression on his face a^ the audience 66
