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

When the circus was in New York, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Herlihy had their work cut out for them by Donald, four and Jeanne, seven. Even before they got to the eat. Dad Herlihy crossed many a pahu i\ilh silver. He's host on NBC's Honevmoon in New York. NBC photographer Ike Selby caught Donald urging clown Lou Jacobs to come home with him. R M 14 THE more we see and hear, the more convinced we become that the folks who are trying so hard to cling to the status quo are hanging on to something that "ain't." The conscientious parent under the status quo did all in his power to be able to send his son, or daughter, to college. But look here, now. If current NBC plans go through, that won't be necessary. Fellows and gals will be able to study via the network. NBC has set up an ambitious "University of the Air" plan and is now in the process of asking several universities to join in. Listeners would enroll in the universities for a home study course (for a nominal fee), and, at the end of a specified period, would take an exam. On passing, the student would receive a joint certificate from the school and the University of the Air. Some things just don't make very good sense to us. All around there's talk about retrenchments, with plenty of sponsors holding out on re-signing talent until it takes a substantial cut. On the other hand comes an announcement from CBS that it netted better than a million and a half in the first quarter of 1948, which tops last year's high for that network. You figure it out. Former stage and screen star Muriel Angelus has turned down a meaty Hollywood offer, for two good reasons . . . her daughter and her husband. In private life, Muriel is Mrs. Paul Lavalle, wife of radio's baton wielder. While she could conceivably take the nine-months-old baby to the Coast, Paul couldn't leave New York because of his radio commitments. Rather than leave him
