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

Even then, when Bobby was five and a half years old, when his sister Sally realized for the first time that he had a phenomenally beautiful voice, there was that shadow on his future. Even then, there was need for haste. The shadow is larger now for the time when his voice must change is nearer. The time when his voice changes ... I can remember the time, in my own life, when that was funny. My parents, my teachers, everybody I knew, smiled at the ludicrous squeaks and sudden tumbles into basso-profundo my voice indulged in. It will not be funny to Bobby Breen nor will it be funny to the thousands of fans who love his voice. For when that time comes it will take away everything he has.
