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

Benton Alexander IV, as of this writing, has made only a limited contribution to radio art and pleasure. Limited, that is, if you cotint only the wordage he has spoken actually on the air. Five wrords, and these somewhat less than immortal: "I'd like a dump truck!" The sturdy five-year-old with the comsilk hair spoke this line from his heart, for he has a deeprooted passion for things on wheels. MilUons of hsteners to Heart's Desire (Monday through Friday on Mutual) doubtless oh'd and ah'd over their sets, because here was the voice of the son of their beloved "Uncle Ben" Alexander, m.c. and yearrotmd Santa Claus. It -was a nice, heartwarming moment, but scarcely one to make radio history. In a larger sense, how^ever, the contribution of Master Nicholas — or Nicky— is inestimable. You can't measure it. You can't weigh it. It's just there — in Nicky's dad who is your Uncle Ben, who does the things he does because Ben Alexander is that kind of guy to start with, {Continued on page 100) The amnsement park offers the right size in new 1948 models.
