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

That problem is putting circles under the eyes of network executives. And unless it is answered satisfactorily in the next few years, it will put circles under their bank balances as well. The best talent now on the air was recruited from vaudeville. But all the cream has been skimmed from that source, and vaudeville is so much a thing of the past it's developing no new names. There was hope for a time that the amateur hours would disgorge Jolsons and Brices by the dozen. But the winners were offered no contracts, except to tour with Unit No. 7, earning enough to get bed and board, after which they returned to their old jobs, if others hadn't already grabbed them in the meantime. Round and round they went, and no one gained.
