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

You remember Ben Alexander, left, as a child star when the movies really were in their infancy. He's twenty-six now, and a radio commentator on his own program Wednesday afternoon on NBC's Red network. Recently he was in "Shall We Dance?" with Fred Astaire. Bob Burns and Lew Ayres are his two best friends. Kitty Carlisle (left below) whose personality and voice adorn the Song Shop on CBS Friday nights, got her first name because there were fifteen Catherines in her New Orleans school and somebody was bound to be called Kitty. She was brought up in Europe and has starred in Broadway musical comedies and movies. When the Broadway play in which she had rehearsed for three weeks closed after a run of four days, Frances Carlon (below) decided the theater was no place for her. Now she's the English Eileen Moran in the Today's Children serial, and glad to be on the air. She's twenty-three and has been in the movies.
