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

1935 . . . the late Lupe Velez and Santos Ortega, now a familiar radio actor, in "Broken Wing." By WILLIAM KEIGHLEY These reminiscenses of Lux Radio Theatre are written for Radio Mirror by the producer-host of the program, which is heard Mondays at 9 P.M. EST, on CBS stations. wmm Past and present, the veteran Radio Theatre is res IF a train does not pull out of a depot on schedule, it pulls out after schedule. If a bus lags behind its timetable, it is not removed from the road. If a passenger plane does not take off on time, it takes off late. And if a ship does not sail the day of announcement, another day will do. In virtually every activity involving human effort — on land, in the air and on sea, if you please — there is a second chance or a late start. In my nearly three years as producer and host of the Lux Theatre, I have learned that radio — live radio, such as Lux, of course — is a breathtaking exception to the rule of margin of error. Never was it more painfully apparent than on the day, three hours before airtime, when it was discovered that the permission of author Sally Benson had not been obtained for adaptation of "Sunday Dinner for a Soldier." It was too late even to mimeograph a new script, let alone time to rewrite another motion picture for 1937 . . . Janet Gayjior, Robert Montgomery in a production of the record-making "A Star is Born." 52
