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

By DUKE ELLINGTON ■ lu THIS month, we've decided to stick to good news — a column full of items that make me ■ happy. First off, I'm happy to be back at work after an operation at Manhattan Hospital. Thanks, too, to Tex Benecke and the others who subbed for me on my disc-jockey show over WMCA, WSBC, WWDC, KVOC and all the others. * * * I liked the news that Joe Mooney fans have been so persistent that Decca has consented to release all eight Mooney discs in one album. The sides are as follows: "Lazy Countryside," "Stars In You Eyes," "Warm Kiss And A Cold Heart," "Tea For Two," "Just A Gigolo," "September Song," "Meet Me At No Special Place," and "I Can't Get Up The Nerve To Kiss You." * * * Perry Como is still in Hollywood, where he is working on the musical "Words And Music." It's a film based on the lives of Rodgers and Hart. The lovely Lena Home, you know, also has a featured role in it. * * * Here's an item of special interest to jazz fans. Count Basie and Illinois Jacquet exchanged drummers recently, Shadow Wilson joining the Basie Band, while the veteran Jo Jones switched to the Jacquet crew. * * * It was wonderful hearing that delightful Dinah Shore, who hails from Nashville, received the title of "The Most Popular Woman In The South" which is awarded annually by the Southeastern Women's Exposition. * * * Among the record favorites on my disc jockey show you'll be interested in knowing that I've been getting lots of requests lately for platters by Nancy's Daddy. Frankie's versions of "I Went Down To Virginia" and "I've Got A Crush On You" are just fine. Ethel Smith's "Blame It On The Samba" is another popular platter. * ♦ * Listening to the new Raymond Scott Quintet is a treat for sore ears. Ray, you know, is Mark Warnow's
