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

SPORTS writers will tell you there is nothing unusual in a phoney fight, which is exactly what this widely ballyhooed war between moving picture exhibitors and radio sponsors over the use of guest stars seems to be. TTie studios would have you believe the exhibitors are squawking because they claim guest star appearances by big picture people hurt the box office. The real low-down as I get it is that the studios themselves are inciting such complaints because they want to collar some of the important money for themselves. Within two months you will see major film studios breaking out in a rash of sponsored radio programs emanating directly from the movie lots.
