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

BOB HOPE By PAULINE SWANSON Radio's busiest comedian does find time for his family but just how he does it, nobody knows IS an excan happen Dropping in on the Bob Hopes at home perience unhke anything else that to a visitor in Hollywood. And a first-time guest would do well to prepare himself with a sedative and a good night's sleep. In the first place, finding the Hopes at home all together and all at once takes some doing. On weekends or during school vacations, Mrs. Hope and the children are generally to be found at the family's winter hideaway in Palm Springs, or at the house on Balboa Bay where they escape for a little peace and quiet in the summer. And, of course. Bob, himself, is as apt to be phoning in from Tokyo or Berlin as relaxing in his big armchair by the fire. But when the Hopes are at home — and home is a vast and confusing establishment on five walled-in acres in North Hollywood — they are home with a vengeance. (Continued on page 78) The healthy, handsome Hope family poses for its portrait: Bob and Dolores, Tony and Linda. Missing are little Kelley and Nora — they probably had more exciting things to do.
