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

Katrin . (Roseiffiary Rice) f3t MAMA Nels (Dick Van Patten) Aunt Jenny (Ruth Gates) The Hansens^ of San Francisco, after many media, possibly have found the most perfect one of all in TV If you stop in at the big restaurant in New York's Grand Central Station almost any Friday evening you'll find a gay family party at a big round table in a corner. There will be Mama and Papa, teen-agers Katrin and Nels, and eight-year-old Dagmar. Aunt Jenny and Uncle Chris are usually present, together with any Hansen relatives and neighbors who may figure in that night's telecast about the American adventures of Norwegian-born Mama and Papa and their brood. Seeing them seated happily around the dinner table in the one hour of rest they get between their all-day rehearsals and the actual CBS telecast of Mama, it's hard to believe they aren't really a family. In fact, you couldn't convince some people that they aren't. Peggy Wood, who plays Mama, reports that one of her friends heard a couple talking over the program one Friday night as they left a bar and grill that featured television. "It must be a real family," one of them was arguing hotly. "For to what else but a real family could all those things happen!" Judson Laire, who plays Papa, thinks no real family could get along any better than the actors and the others responsible for the show. "Everybody gets along with everybody else," he says, with a note of surprise in his voice that this sort of thing should be happening in the theater. "There are no quarrels. No one worries whether his part is large or smaU one week. He knows it will even up some other week. Mama is telecast Fridays, 8:00 P.M., EST, CBS-TV. 48 Uncle Chrla (Malcolm Keen)
