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

Above, on tour with Fannie Brice in the Ziegfeld Follies back in 1917. Two years on tour with "Kid Kabaret," then marriage, to Ida Tobias, a sweetheart of Bowery days, in 1914. They honeymooned in England, and in 1915 the first of five daughters, Marjorie, arrived. Above, a 1927 Follies rehearsal— Eddie, Ziegfeld, and Irving Berlin. Eddie took radio by storm in 1931 on the Chase & Sanborn show. It soon became the most popular on the air. Today he heads a new radio union and is in his third year on Texaco Town. Below, with Rubinoff, Ida, and Jimmy Wellington, during his first radio series. The seal of movie fame came when Eddie left his handprint in the court of Sid Grauman's Chinese Theater. By this time he'd joined forces with the legendary Sam Goldwyn on a picture-a-year basis, a deal which lasted until last yearEddie's now a 20th Century-Fox star.
