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

RADIO MAKES A HOME FOR ON a wooded estate at Graymoor, forty miles from New York City, is St. Christopher's Inn, one of America's really unique charities, where any man may come and receive food and shelter, regardless of race or creed. Operated by the Society of the Atonement, Franciscan Order, the present Inn is the product of cash gifts from listeners to the Order's Sunday Ave Maria Hour, heard on over 150 stations, through broadcasts and recordings. Last year, 150,000 free meals and 50,000 nights' lodgings were provided. Supported by listeners' gifts, St. Christopher's is always open to foot sore wanderers who find rest and food waiting to break their journey A game of croquet is enjoyed by Father Paul James Francis, S.A., who founded the Society of the Atonement in 1900. The Inn is only one of its benevolent activities. No questions are asked of the men who come to this fine new building for shelter. All may stay until they feel ready to go out and have another try at making a living. Also built by listeners' gifts is this pavilion, nearly completed, which will be used as a rest-house for the parties of pilgrims who frequently come to Graymoor. The Inn's guests take part in a Wednesday broado which is heard on two New York stations. The man on the right is wearing a waiter's coat, a gift to the Inn.
