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

By DALE BANKS catch the public's fancy and keep their popularity for years. Take an idea like Passing Parade, John Nesbitt's brainchild, which is familiar to all radio listeners and movie goers. John says he got it from an old trunk willed to him by his father, the late Dr. Norman H. Nesbitt, a Unitarian minister, world traveler, author and lecturer. When John opened the old trunk, he discovered in it hundreds of notes, stories, anecdotes, facts about people in all walks of life in every country on the globe. It was from these pieces that John Nesbitt got the idea of writing his commeritary on the activities of other human beings. * * Burl Ives, the nation's Number One folk singer and balladier, did the musical arrangements of the Civil War folk songs which are featured in the new Irwin Shaw play, "The Survivors". Burl, never one to be too commercial with his friends asked as his fee — and got — two bottles of Scotch! If you're an Abe Burrows fan, be sure to get the record album he's made, called, "The Girl With The Three Blue Eyes." It's wonderful nonsense with a lot of the material he's done on his shows. (Continued on page 74) The Man Called X is no mystery to the man who produces the program for CBS: Jack Johnstone just calls his star Herbert Marshall, off-mike. 13
