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

Then, a few years ago, something happened. All of a sudden you couldn't buy a Radio announcer Wendell Niles has exchanged his animal, a horse, for o new swimming pool. postage stamp with a tree on it for under ten thousand dollars in what had mysteriously, over night, become "the ultra smart San Fernando Valley." If gold had been discovered, there couldn't have been a greater rush, and sixteen-cylinder conestoga wagons whizzed madly up and down Cahuenga Pass, which connects Hollywood and the Valley, by day and by night.
