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

Paramount IF you could have seen Gladys Swartout and Frank Chapman together during any of their frequent appearances in public within the past few years — arm in arm at broadcasts and the opera, window-shopping on Fifth Avenue, roller skating in Central Park, entertaining brilliantly at their East River apartment or their Hollywood home — you would surely have said to yourself, seeing how much like lovers they were, "It's grand about the Chapmans. Now there's a couple who are really happy together!" If you had talked with them you would have been convinced of it. Gladys would have shyly told you how terribly thankful she was that there wasn't a single cloud in their marital horizon. Frank would have stated the same thing with repeated glowing phrases. And if you had read anything or everything printed about them, stories of their romance and home life, undoubtedly you would have concluded that theirs was the ideal marriage. Didn't everything they say and do prove it? Radio Row was right in calling their union the most gl amorously successful one among the mike people. Everyone else concluded those things too, from seeing and knowing and reading about the Chapmans. Yet the great untold story behind all conclusions is the fact that for the past three years Gladys Swarthout's marriage has been perilously near disaster! For three years it Gladys' faith in her husband never wavered a moment.
