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

It's Lowell Thomas' five hundred acre estate, built very near at hand to the Berkshire hills in Pawling, New York. The fine Colonial house is partially hidden by the very dense foliage. Here NBC's ace commentator lives with his wife and Lowell, Jr. LEHRn HDHfflG FRQIT1 ALTHOUGH the very name of Lowell Thomas conjures up visions of strange, remote places with delicious-sounding but unpronounceable names, his traveling these days is almost wholly confined to commuting between his lovely country home in Pawling, New York and the radio and Fox Movietone Studios. As a matter of fact radio has been a stern taskmaster confining Mr. Thomas' wanderings to the United States. However, after seeing the Thomas estate, it is not difficult to understand why he fervidly insists his bondage is most pleasant. Set in 500 acres of unbelievably lovely country near the Berkshire Hills, the Thomas colonial house rises in classical Photographed especially for Radio Mirror by Wide World This is just a corner of the immense studio where Lowell Thomas writes.
