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

my holiday heartache My tears of loneliness became tears of joy the day a miracle touched my life MY first "white Christmas" would also be the most desolate one I had ever endured. The realization came over me chillingly. That happened two years ago when I was new to Chicago, but even now, in the midst of the close companionship of the Breakfast Club cast, I recall it as sharply as if it were occurring all over again. Our orchestra leader, Eddie Ballantine, needs only to bring out the arrangements for "White Christmas" and the traditional carols, our boss, Don McNeill, has only to announce plans for our holiday broadcasts, to take me straight back to that day when I suddenly felt Christmas would bring joy to every other mortal in the world — except me. It was on Thanksgiving that the horrible thought struck me. Actually I had much to be thankful for. For a girl my age, I was doing right well. I had had a taste of one career, having taught school for a term immediately after finishing at the University of California, and then had been able to make a successful switch and turn my hobby of singing into my true life work. The breaks had come my way. One engagement led to another, and I hadn't even had to try very hard to find bookings with name bands. The biggest break of all had come while I was singing in San Fran One thing that helps today is seeing my mother — and another is my wonderful job with the Breakfast Club. 65
