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

For several years Susan Kent had captured first prizes in the WFBR Sewing Contest and it was this sewing talent that brought her into contact with the Baltimore station. When the opportunity came to step in and do radio work the station found that she was admirably equipped to show listeners how It's Fun to Cook, M-F at 12:45 P. M. Cooking was as easy as pie for Susan who, as a lieutenant in the Marine Corps, had fed thousands of hungry leathernecks. She had a trying time for fourteen months when she served as the only woman officer in the Marine Barracks in Washington, D. C. With thousands of handsome, rugged Marines around she did an about-face and married a civilian — something which was very hard to live down during the rest of her "hitch." Along with this talent for cooking, she has an urge to grow things. That's why she wangled a garden, large enough to keep two people supplied with the usual things that taste best fresh, smack in the middle of two large apartment developments. Both she and her husband do the hoeing and neither shirks his duty. Besides sewing, designing clothes, painting and working with ceramics, Susan plays the piano and mandolin and once took up flying, but she didn't follow through long enough to get her license. Add to this the large number of requests which come in to serve as judge of this and that fashion show and you can see that Susan Kent is a very busy young woman. Prior to joining the Marines, this lady from Denver, Colorado taught school and worked with children's programs on a station in Carlsbad, New Mexico. A desire to see new places led her to Washington, D. C. where she worked for the Civil Aeronautics Board and took courses at George Washington University and the Madga School of Design. WFBR's Susan Kent designs and sews clothing, makes ceramic knick-knacks, paints in her leisure time. 10
