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

On Saturday nights they head for the Opry House, transform themselves with outsize shoes, flour-sack dresses and Uncle Sam beards, and trample out before the Old Barn backdrop.

To accommodate the 4000 folks who come from near and far to see it, an old tabernacle, the Ryman Auditorium, was bought. What you hear on the air (NBC, Saturday nights at 10:30 P.M. EDT) is only a fraction of the show. It actually starts at 8, goes on till 12, with the stomping, singing audience very much a part of the proceedings.
