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

HOW LUCILLE MANNERS For broadcast time see Cffles Service, page 55. LUCILLE MANNERS is living a romance that every girl, every modern woman — who is not too old to ' dream — thinks might come to her, like the magic ball at which Cinderella was the main attraction. He has no name, he is neither tall nor short, blond nor brunette. For this is 1937 romance and there is no man, nor love interest in it. Yet it is romance filled with the highest thrills, excitement, and adventure. It is the romance of a new star flashing across radio's heaven, of a girl suddenly swirled out of obscurity onto a jeweled throne, queen of a full hour program heard coast to coast, the Cities Service broadcasts. It is the romance of a comparatively unknown singer chosen for stardom and then made over, from her littlest toe to the last ringlet on the top of her head, to fit the new role. The romance of being made a star in appearance as well as in name. And with every one of the glamorous, exciting trimmings. This romance deals, not with moonlight walks and stolen kisses, but with new evening gowns designed by Dorothy Couteaur, suits, furs, hats and shoes; new make-up, new hair-dress, and new photographs. A new mode of life — the life of a star. Just one y< Lucille look dressed as sh« did for these picfurM. 24
