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

Meanwhile, younger brother Ronnie uses water wings. Nelson Eddy, below, has finally solved the problem of how to get away from his Chase & Sanborn Sunday-night broadcast without being mobbed by a horde of adoring feminine fans. Strongarm men, reports Fidler, do the trick very well. I'm not over it yet. Seems a shame somebody doesn't hurry television along so you could enjoy it, too. i * * * J^JARLYN STEWART, the pretty blonde with less to do in radio than nearly anyone else, now has ambitions to become a coloratura and is arranging for lessons. Haven't heard her voice on anything but that Ken Murray greeting (now off the air) "Mama, here's that Campbell man again." * * * TIZZIE LISH (without benefit of costume) looks surprisingly like Bill Bacher, whilom producer of Hollywood Hotel, who made radio pay in four figures weekly. Tizzie is the cooking expert (?) on the Al Pearce show. I've always resented her exit trick of dropping panties or step-ins (I suppose that's what it is) as she trips off stage to the huge delight of the visual audience and the disgust of the listeners who feel robbed. * * * C PEAKING of the Al Pearce show, might be interesting to know that Arlene Harris, the human chatterbox, really talks faster than she can read and so, unlike many a radiactress, has to memorize her stint. * * * I N this crazy city of wild-eyed rumors the other week, the story was going round and round that George Jessel has signed with Mutual Broadcasting Company. It even appeared in the trade papers. So Jessel phoned Mutual and learned, to his amazement, that Jessel was to appear on a forthcoming Mutual show. Whereupon the (Continued on page 79)
