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

Helen Hadley plays a very ieading role in the lives of her men-folk. She helps Dale with his homework— demonstrating on the blackboard— and cues Reed in his lines for next day's rehearsal. H ero to his family Bv BETTY MILLS "tt's very baffling." said the tall, dark, handsome young man, as he ruffled his hand through his hair. "But then, ladies have always baffled me." For a moment Reed Hadley looked very much the opposite from the assured, non-baffled Captain Braddock he portrays on CBS-TV's Racket Squad. In his capable hands he held an off-season valentine, all pink, ruffly, and terribly feminine. It had just arrived in the mail and was signed by ten teenagers who begged Reed to show that he had received it by winking on the next telecast of Racket Squad! The valentine, only one of hundreds of letters Reed receives weekly, is typical of his fan mail. He gets romantic communications — in all shapes and forms — every day by the dozens. Some letters are from housewives who do not aspire to meet him, only want him to know their deep-felt admiration for him. Other, more amorous letters are from younger listeners who want to know if he's married — and (Continued on page 102) Reed Had lev is seen as Captain Braddock on Racket Squad, over CBS-TV, Thursdays at in P.M. EDT, sponsored by Philip Morris. Dad's advice is tops, too. If he wants that swing made safer, Dale scrambles to fix it. 53
