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

FROM COAST TO COAST THERE'S a pathetic reason why you haven't heard Fred Allen and Portland Hoffa making fun of Portland's mythical "Poppa" on Town Hall Tonight lately. Portland's real father died, not so very many weeks ago. Little Jackie Heller and Ruth Greeley were married in Chicago late last month. It was a five-year romance, which didn't start getting serious until last fall. 6 The new Mrs. Heller used to be an Earl Carroll stage beauty, and she's four feet, eleven and one-half inches tall, just half an inch shorter than her groom. After having "retired" from the stage, Ethel Barrymore has been in two Broadway plays this winter — and now she's part of a thirty-minute weekly radio drama called A Woman Shall Judge, which is sponsorhunting.
