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

PHIL BAKER took one look at that straw sailor on the opposite page and announced that he'd discovered a new use for pineapple tops. Lanny Ross was cautious: "The only things I dislike are the enormous brims, and hanging yards of silk from the back. But the flowers and veils make women look romantic." Robert Benchley came out flatly: "I always say a hat is a hat. But why can't they just call it that instead of some food or a bird. And imagine calling a hat a pillbox! The other day I heard a woman talking like this: '. . . so Mary asked for a wimple, but the wimple didn't look good, so she put on a rough-rider. After an hour she finally walked out with a Mother Goose.' " So now you know what men think of women's hats. Or do you? ■ Reading below, and up — Mrs. Hal Kemp's black felt is faced with white eyelet embroidery; a muffin hat for Nan, with pink and blue birds and dotted veil. Mrs. Kemp wears another off-the-face hat with peaked crown, sombre o effect; and Nan in a 1939 version of the new fedora. It's red and the huge veil ties under the chin.
