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

YOUR LETTERS OF OPINION WIN PRIZES FIRST PRIZE, $10.00 SECOND PRIZE. $5.00 FIVE PRIZES of $1.00 Address your letter to the Editor, RADIO MIRROR, 122 East 42nd Street, New York, N. Y., and mail it not later than April 30, 1938. Those Sunday night comics — Joe Penner and Jack Benny. Fink FIRST PRIZE PLAY THE NEW GAME WONDER if any other readers of Radio Mirror have tried out the idea that I and my friends have found very interesting. The idea is for you to get your friends together and take one of the Readiobroadcasts that appear each month in Radio Mirror. Then draw cards to see who gets the most important speaking part. Then the Readio broadcast begins. Each participant does his or her part to make the best of their speaking part. If you have ever had a longing to be a radio performer, here is your big chance to try out your acting ability. You will also find that the acting of Readio broadcasts makes plenty of fun at the party. Each person if they wish can take their turn at the acting. Try it sometimes and I am sure it will bring you much enjoyment. Joseph Croughwell, New York City, N. Y. SECOND PRIZE OPEN LETTER TO BETTY LOU BARRIE Dear Betty Lou: Please, oh, please tell the artist who made that picture of you in the February number of Radio Mirror that you do not look like the sophisticated grown up 4 little girl which this picture depicts. Tell your "Mr. Tommy" that you should have reddish brown pigtails a little curly on the ends, or if you must have bobbed hair, do not have that awful set finger-wave. Whoever heard of a little seven year old girl, (that is your age you know) with a fingerwave. Let it be tousled and not too curly, though I much prefer the pigtails. You have large brown eyes, with long lashes but no plucked or penciled eye brows, a dimple in your cheek, and teeth not too perfect. You still have some of your baby teeth with two second ones in front, not quite full grown, and your nose turns up just a little. A. G. S., Buffalo, New York THIRD PRIZE WON'T SOMEONE HEAR HER PLEA? After reading your article on Betty Lou Barrie I can readily understand Tommy Riggs' predicament of transforming her into a real person but the sketch and remarks in this article were very disappointing. I have been a listener to Betty Lou since "way back when." I always had my own vision of her appearance before I ever knew she was not a real person but as you say "in this case it's every man for himself" and I don't suppose two people out of ten would have the same vision of her. But I am (Continued on page 92)
