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

A YOUNG Irishborn priest cherished a memory, a dream, and a faith. And through the radio program these inspired, he has proved that miracles — even in this materialistic age of ours — can happen in I) V men's hearts. They are miracles wrought by family prayer, the cause to which The Family Theater, presenting first-rate drama with starstudded casts, is dedicated. R 0 B B I N '^ne ProSram nas received thousands of let ters attesting that the memory, the dream, the faith are bearing fruit. The Family Theater, combining prime entertainment with spiritual COONS values and omitting preachments, is helping to restore prayer as a vital force in listeners' homes and lives. Father Patrick Peyton, C. S. C, remembered his old home in Ireland, where family prayer was "as normal as suppertime" and shed its beneficent glow on his growing-up. He dreamed of reaching millions with the message of the power of prayer — prayer which is not merely a Sunday thing for inside churches but also an every-day habit inside the heart and home, as much a part of daily life as eating, sleeping, working. He believed, with a sublime faith strengthened by his own experience, that such prayer could lighten human burdens, uplift men's hearts, save tottering homes, forestall adult as well as juvenile delinquency. And so, through his efforts, was born The Family Theater, heard over Mutual on Thursdays at 10 P.M. (EDT). This, then, is the inspiring story of Father Pat and his" phenomenally successful program which, unsponsored and non-commercial, commands the services of Hollywood's greatest stars to sell a spiritual commodity, the power of prayer.
