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

After appearing in several Broadway successes and in stock, in Toronto, he tried radio, as an announcer, in 1934. His first real radio success was as Renfrew, in Renfrew of the Mounted, but he's best known as Mr. Aldrich, heard with his Family, over NBC, Thursday evenings at 8:00, EDT. Philco 472: built-in AM-FM. ANOTHER in the new group of table-models is Philco Model 472. It's a moderately -priced set in a streamlined plastic cabinet and comes in either brown or ivory. Approximate dimensions are 10" x 16" x 8". Of interest, too, is the built-in dual AM-FM aerial system. When talk gets around to small radios it must, of necessity, get around to the new "Personal" line of receivers built by RCA Victor. It's a battery-operated portable that weighs only three and a half pounds, and features a lid switch which automatically turns the radio on when the lid is opened. It's small enough to fit in a pocket, measuring only 3x/4" x 4%" x 6V4". This set retails for about $33 and comes in red, brown, black and ivory. Tele-tone: 26 sq.in. image, all-channel tuning. And still the price of television sets keeps going down. Tele-tone boasts of a set tagged at only $149.95. The screen furnishes an image of 26 square inches and the set is in a genuine mahogany cabinet. This set, by the way, does include All Channel tuning. You can pick up telecasts from all stations in your area. For the record, it's Model 149. Since there's plenty of vacation weather ahead, you may be looking for a portable radio that will give you reception no matter where you go. A good suggestion would be to look over the Crosley model 9-302. It's a three-way set that will operate in AC or DC current as well as on batteries. This portable comes in an alligator-grain brown leatherette case with metal trim. Another portable using alligator grain is the RCA Victor model 8BX5. Contrasting effect is obtained by balancing the simulated leather with maroon plastic. This set is also three-way — Battery, AC and DC. RCA 8BX5: battery, AC and DC.
