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

Alice Fa ye was dressed for a day in town in this^ whitefrosted blue crepe tunic job. Gray flannel trunks, jersey halter, jaunty sailor — they put Sylvia Froos in the swim. And in this unlikely outfit Milton Berle posed — to defend his gags, it said there. OJVIV LIFE STORY Fashion-wise, 1934 seems like centuries ago. Imagine wrapping yourself in that Eskimo-like ermine trimmed wrap that Nicole of Paris designed for Betty Barthell. Of course, you could salvage the body of the garment — it was made of velvet — and be quite stylish for 1950. Likewise with Helen Pickens' velvet accessories. Those long sooty gloves would be welcome in any woman's wardrobe in 1950, but to the attic with that lengthy matelasse tunic dress! Helen, however, must have cut quite a figure in it at teas and cocktail parties in those dimmer days. The prize hat here seems to be the Nicole of Paris number modeled by Ruth Etting. It had a straw crown, a starched and pleated white organdy brim and what looks like an enormous velvet ribbon as extra added attraction. And a collar to match. Wonder how many times Ruth was able to wear that? About the least fashionable but also least perishable style seems to be Gertrude Berg's housedress. Fashions come and fashions go but those gaily designed, terribly practical garments go on forever. When you view the doings of Molly Goldberg these days on television, you probably won't be able to notice much difference in her then and now dresses. But for all-out practicality, the fashion Oscar must go to Milton Berle. There is one form that will never change, even sixteen years from now. Want to bet? •me^e wetwma Chapeaux. 1934: Ruth Etting in a Nicole of Paris number of white pleated organdy and Arlene Francis in a tricorne made of tweed, one-eye style.
