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

ir Mtfc/$e J$@k Without Radio Mirror, you'd have as much trouble getting into this studio as you would have getting into Fort Knox Studio audiences get a pre-broadcast show, too. IF YOU were visiting in Hollywood, Sunday afternoon would probably find you lined up with hundreds of others at the NBC studios, trying to get in to see the Jack Benny Show. Unfortunately, only 350 lucky folks can have this privilege every week (that's all the studio seats) so even if you were on the spot your chances would be -small. However, Radio Mirror won't let you be stopped by mere time-andspace limitations; with these pages we whisk you past the crowds, through the great double doors, into the silver-walled hush of the studio, where you choose for yourself among the maroon-upholstered seats. It's about 3:30 P.M. at this point, half an hour before air time (4 PST, 7 EST) but you're not too early; you're just in time for the pre-broadcast show with which the Benny cast warms-up itself and the audience before the "On the Air" signal turns red. No Btone is left unturned if there might be something fanny underneath it — even the commercials, as song by the Sportsmen, amuse. RHHH^BBBHMM Benny made them funny: Dennis Day (1) started out as a singer; Don Wilson (r) an announcer; Mary Livingstone (seated) as Jack's wife. 35
