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

Bob Novak, who directs Mutual's weekday Newsreel series, is a magician for relaxation. He's a former president of the New York chapter of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and, for two years, trouped around the world for the Army, entertaining hospitalized GIs with his feats of magic. * * * By this time in radio history, whenever you hear a couple of radio comics feuding on their programs you're fairly sure that they're bosom buddies and pay their script writers a tidy piece of change to keep the air war going. Now, there's the makings of a real feud in the biz. Fred Allen is still burning because Bing Crosby canceled out a guest shot on the comic's show. The thing that really makes Allen sore is that all this took place after Fred had already cut the recording of his appearance on the Groaner's stanza. * * * One of the shortest vacationers is the Beulah Show, which returns to the air about the middle of August.
