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

Radio Mirror tells, in pictures, of the dilemma that the lovely CBS heroine is striving to solve 1. Evelyn's Aunt Edith has been out of touch with the Winters family for more years than Evelyn can remember. So her arrival at the Beekman Place house unsettles the routine Evelyn and devoted housekeeper Maggie are used to. But she seems charming, and they welcome her warmly. IN the lovely old house on Beekman Place, in New York City, where Evelyn Winters lives with her housekeeper, Maggie, a frightening situation recently developed. It all began with a letter from Edith Winters Elkins, the sister of Evelyn's dead father. She was coming East, and Evelyn responded with a sincere invitation: Aunt Edith was to make the Winters house her home until her affairs were settled. Welcoming Aunt Edith, Evelyn is unaware that a bomb is entering her peaceful household. (In these pictures, as on the air, Evelyn is played by Toni Darnay; Gary by Karl Weber; Edith by Helen Claire; Maggie by Kate McComb; Jinny Roberts by Mary Mason; Charlie Gleason by Ralph Bell; Cleve Barrington by Vinton Hayworth; Janice King by Flora Campbell; Robbie DeHaven by James Lipton.) 2. But — what's this? Evelyn's prepared to make her guest happy, but not at all prepared to find furniture rearranged, and orders given to Maggie as though control of the household had passed to Aunt Edith! More, Edith can't get on with Maggie, who's very dear to Evelyn. A slight tension begins to make itself felt. 3. Feeling that her aunt, as a member of the family, deserved to be made as comfortable as possible, Evelyn had mentioned that Edith might use the Winters charge accounts. "But I didn't expect this deluge!" thinks Evelyn worriedly as she accepts the endless packages. 27
