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

ff [EIGH-HO, Everybody"— that greeting will go down as one of the most famous in the history of radio. For twenty years radio fans recognized those words as meaning that Rudy Vallee was on the air, and they were going to be entertained! Twenty years ago, Rudy stepped before a microphone in the smart and expensive night spot, the Heigh-Ho Club, in New York, and there was born the greeting of the same name and a fabulous radio career. Since that night back in February of 1928, Vallee has become something of an American phenomenon in the field of entertainment. Singers, comedians and actors have flared into fame and then fallen by the wayside, but Vallee goes on and on. So, when the almost legendary Rudy Vallee announces that he will henceforth devote himself to television, that bears investigation. Rudy is now busily engaged in the production of a series of half-hour comedy-dramas written, directed, enacted and photographed (he'll put everything on film) exclusively for TV. The first, a satire on the importance of college football, titled "College Days," has been completed for several months. Vallee, producer, director and star of the TV picture, has studded the cast with such well known laugh getters as Charlie Cantor, Lionel Stander and Maurice Cass. And for a touch of glamor, Vallee has co-starred Lorry Raine, a new singing discovery. The company has started its third halfhour film already and present plans call for the making of a series of twenty-five of these halfhour video programs. (Continued on page 84) ;v <^i Here's the Vallee-Video group : Maurice Cass, Lorry Raine, Lionel Stander, Rudy himself, Charles Cantor. They plan 25 half-hour telefilms; three of them are already completed. RADIO!
