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

Spotlight Revue's summer maestro, Dick Jurgens, (r.) and singer Georgia Gibbs, start Betty Ann Beresheim and Ted Hubert, Miami teenagers, on weekend in New York as Spotlight Revue's guests. From Atlanta came winners Margaret Nelson and Allan Haller, with chaperone Celestine Sibley. I M 14 By DALE BANKS Memphis winners Earl Cunningham Jr., and Martha Kenlcy drew actor John Lund as lunch companion. New York al their feet: the Memphis pair again ALL SUMMER long there has been much coming and going on the Spotlight Revue, . heard Fridays at 10:30 P.M. EST, on CBS, as the weekly Junior Achievement winners came along on the holiday weekends they'd won. In cooperation with civic groups all over the country, the Spotlight's sponsors worked out a contest which was won, each week, by a pair of enterprising teen-agers on the basis of the community work they'd been doing. Adequately chaperoned, they were brought here from their home towns, appeared on the program with Spotlight's summertime maestro, Dick Jurgens, lunched at Sardi's, dined at the Stork, and in general had the kind of sight-seeing, star-gazing weekend New York is famous for. On these two pages you'll meet some of these fortunate couples, and see some of the things they did. This was a summer at Spotlight Revue! * * * At the time of this writing, agents and agency people are bickering and dickering over the return of the Johnny Ma'dero show. Some want Brian Donlevy for the lead role, others want Jack Webb, who originated the character, to continue in the part. Personally, we hope they make up their collective minds. The Johnny Madero script always greatly pleased this pair of ears and, leave us face it, this head, too. It was a sure proof that there's a listening audience for adult shows and that people can follow dialogue that's not corny and contains a few grown-up ideas. * * * Penny Singleton (need we say "Blondie"?) has been optioned by a nationally-known publishing company to submit a book of recipes
