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

DO MEN W! rHEN you proudly go home, after frantic shopping, with your new Easter bonnet, and Hubby takes one look and yells, "Wasn't there any mirror in that store?" is he serious or is he just joking? In an effort to solve this hat question, once and for all, we asked several of radio's loveliest and most styleconscious girls to pose in the latest models, and showed the results to Morton Downey, Phil Baker, Lanny Ross and Robert Benchley — all gentlemen of impeccable taste, rare judgment and real bravery. Said Morton Downey: "They're kind of silly, but on the whole I think the hats this year are a lot prettier than they've been for a long time. There's more to them. Now they sit on half the head, instead of just covering the right eyebrow!" ■ Reading down — Nan Wynn, in a pink cellophane sailor; Martha Stephenson, Hal Kemp's bride, in a wine-colored milan with pink taffeta; Joan Edwards' "Arabian Nights" hat features a cellophane ruching; Nan's wearing the new baby bumper with black taffeta bow; Joan's perky sailor is a quilted cobalt-blue cellophane with a big bow.
