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

The scarlet of the passion flower amid deep green foliage. Slim green palms. Tom toms beating eerie rhythms. Brown bare feet in a savage dance. Dim lights flickering through thatched huts. Gorgeous, breathtakingly beautiful girls in seductive grass skirts. And threading her way through the maze of tropical vines, camera equipment, and dancers on the set of "Waikiki Wedding" in which she is starring with Bing Crosby, Martha Raye came towards me. A prop boy, like a magician who drags rabbits from a high silk hat, produces a canvas chair from nowhere and snaps it open. Blazoned on the back in bright yellow paint is her name — Martha Raye — in letters that big. Stars, come to watch.icall breezy hellos with the deference-Tlollywood always shows to success.
