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

"I found myself paying a lot more attention to those, pictures than an agent usually does to pictures of a possible client," Pat admitted later. "I'd seen a lot of beautiful girls in Hollywood, but there was something about Rheba's picture that should have told me I'd finally found The Girl." . . . and wonderful shots for the family album. Instead, Pat finally put the pictures away, telling himself that it would be Rheba's voice, not her attractiveness, that would tell the story. But he wasn't given a chance to forget her — in the next few days he received phone calls from at least six of the women in his mother's neighborhood, each one singing the praises of Rheba and her voice.
