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

After subjugating Chicago last year with the abandon and spontaneity of his swing music, Benny moved into New YQrk this fall with headquarters at the Pennsyl vania Hotel, that band citadel where Vincent Lopez first came to fame. Few thought a season or two ago that he had what it takes to make a maestro, claiming he was too good a musician, too sincere and no showman. The dopesters told him he would have to change himself all over and put on an act to succeed. Noted for saying just what he thinks, he frequently rubs the boys in the band the wrong way. At such times his brother Harry, who plays in the band, follows up and smooths things over. Benny will continue on the Camel hour, alternating with Nat Shilkret and providing swing and sweet music side by side, Benny's band being picked up at New York and Nat's at Hollywood. * * * A swell new orchestral combination this season is Red Norvo's band. Red is the husband of Mildred Bailey, one of the few feminine authorities on swing music. Red's band features a soft, subtle brand of swing . . . Ozzie Nelson takes two and three malted milks and two chicken salad sandwiches before turning in every night. Harriet keeps razzing him that he will put on more weight but he says, "Not a chance.
